Au Courant
adj \ˌō-ku̇-ˈräⁿ\
fully informed : UP-TO-DATE
Why AU COURANT? We came up with quite a few names before narrowing it down to AU COURANT. The name encompasses everything we were looking for as an art magazine: staying up to date, in touch with what’s going on, or being fully informed of what the art community i
n town is up to. The other reason is, well… admit it, it has a really nice ring to it. The idea to create an online art magazine came together when a few of us artists & friends wanted to make sure that our fellow artists, as well as ourselves, had a voice in the city to promote our work. What better idea than an online magazine to get our work "out there". We didn't have to spend too much time talking about the idea and there was no need to convince anyone. We are initially launching our magazine online, but of course our main goal is to have a print version in the very near future. We are amateurs and professional artists, and like all artists we are always on the lookout for good venues to show our work, whether it be a gallery, a coffee shop, or a festival. We have decided to create AU COURANT to encourage the appreciation and interest in visual and performing arts, offering tools, reference information and resource services to our local art community. Well, there you have it folks. This magazine will have it all: articles, interviews, galleries, venues, tips, and without a doubt a ton of pictures to enjoy.
