front Winds of Change at Hand Aitho ugh I was off work for six weeks this summer and the magazine didn't appear in July/August,ArtsAccess has not been neglected. Members of the Arts Promotion Committee have been meeting on a regular basis over the last several weeks to discuss the magazine and its companion television show and to explore new directions for both. Eversince the newArtsAccesswas introduced in January of 1992, it has been a work-in-progress of sorts. I have received ongoing input as to what worked and what didn't, both in terms of design and content. Minor adjustments have been made in light of these suggestions, but, after two years, it is now time to consider some more extensive ones. In January of the coming year, the Arts Promotion Committee hopes to unveil a new magazine design. Between now and then, we will be drawing up a "wish list" for the magazine. There is already near-unanimity that the Arts Calendar should change, although less agreement as to exactly how. With that in mind, we are trying out a new calendar design now, so that we can iron out the wrinkles ahead of time. Please, go ahead--take a look at the centre-spread. Is it more inviting? Is it easier/harder to use? Is there too much! too little information? Is the type illegible/legibleenough? Is it helpful to have the events organized by discipline? Would you pull this out and pin it on your fridge to use as a daily reminder, next to your Ridge program and Vancouver Opera calendar? I myself am too close to the thing to be objective. And besides,ldon't produce this magazine for my own sake, but for yours. So I need to get your feedback, about the Arts Calendar redesign specifically and about the magazine (and TV program) in general. How much of the magazine do you read? What do you like the best/the least? And, most importantly, whatisn'tinitthat should be? Ditto for the TV show. Have you ever watched it? Do you still? Which do you prefer, the studio segments or the onlocation pieces? Are the interviews too short/long? What's missing from the show? What could you do without? Feedback only counts when it comes from people that matter--that means you, the readers/viewers. Please write or call me with your thoughts. I can be reached on voice mail at 984-9537, by fax at 984-3563. and by regular mail at 148 East 2nd St.. North Vancouver. V7L 1C3. At the very least, I'd be happy to know that you're actually outthere! --Ann Mack!em Advertising Rates 1994 advertising rates are as follows, with 20% discount for year-round advertising.
