ARTAZINE Mission: To eliminate barriers between the community and the ARTs.

How ARTAZINE began
ARTAZINE began in the summer of 2008 by local artist Raette Meredith.
After living in Redding for about three years, Raette saw a demand for ARTs instruction. There were plenty of instructors, but no one knew where to find them.
Raette began compiling the information from fliers, booklets, newspapers, and anything she could find. With this stack of papers that was easily over a foot tall, she designed a database of class listings.
The first quarterly edition of ARTAZINE magazine with 14 full-color pages, was made available online for free download on June 21, 2008.
The magazine featured colorful artwork from regional artists, and a directory of arts instructors, including biographies, class descriptions, and registration information.
Summer 2010 is a 70 full-color page directory of ARTs instruction, ARTicles, and is of course, graced with regional artwork and information about the artists.
The quarterly magazine is always available, free for dowload at ARTAZINE.org

ARTAZINE established its online presence during 2009 and continues to grow. We average 5,000 visitors per month after less than a year online. We feature instructor announcements, calls to artists, regular articles and the directory online. Online posts remain active in the archives indefinitely.

Where ARTAZINE is going
ARTAZINE is currently focused on expanding our listings and making search capabilities on the website more user-friendly.

Our quarterly print editions continue to be available for download at the beginning of each season:
Winter - December 21,
Spring - March 21,
Summer - June 21,

We  are committed to becoming the only resource you need to find ARTs related classes.  We hope you find the magazine and online resource useful, informative, and inspirational.
