New magazine for the arts of Virginia- VENNUE - is launched
   Vennue is a free, quarterly publication and will initially be distributed throughout Southwest and Central Virginia - eventually becoming the statewide publication for the arts. It will fill a void in the arts world, highlighting Virginia's fine arts and artists, theatres, musical events and more.

Elizabeth Parsons the Editorial Director, said the goal of Vennue is "to act as a bridge between the many creative centers scattered throughout the Commonwealth; to be a 'venue' that brings together these hubs and their members, that fosters collaboration and synergy among them." For additional information, please contact Beck Media Group at 540.904.6800 or vennue@beckmediagroup.com; Elizabeth Parsons can be reached at eparsons@beckmediagroup.com.

Thanks to Jim Montgomery for forwarding this email, with images wrongfully identified as shots of Hurricane Katrina. These awesome Photos by Mike Hollingshead are copyrighted - not for use in artwork, but OK for inspiration.
