SMARTENERGY celebrates the launch of Art Practical,

the new home of three important chroniclers of San Francisco Bay Area contemporary art and visual culture: Shotgun Review, Happenstand and Talking Cure Quarterly. Bringing together the audiences for each partner publication, Art Practical is emblematic of the collective and collaborative spirit of the wide-ranging Bay Area visual arts culture, which combines a long local history of incubating experimentation and innovation with international perspectives. Our contributors are some of the most renowned artists, performers, writers, educators, and curators in the Bay Area. This vibrant, complex mix of cross-disciplinary practices demonstrates a model for visual arts criticism that is highly conscious of the audience it is serving, as well as the culture it is representing.
