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.

With over 700 classes listed, ARTAZINE is now available exclusively online. Instructors add their class listings as necessary.

ARTAZINE established its online presence during 2009 and continues to grow. We average 11,000 visitors per month. We feature instructor announcements, calls to artists, inspirational articles written by professional artists, an searchable database of all arts related classes and so much more!

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

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