Welcome to
the inaugural issue of Arts4All Newsletter, a new electronic publication
for the international arts communities. Published semimonthly, the
Newsletter will provide news, features, interviews, personal narratives,
policy discussions and debates, along with classified ads and other
subscriber services. We invite your participation, as the Newsletter
evolves into a real forum, providing a give-and-take and dynamic exchange
not possible in the print media.
In our first issue,
we are pleased to include the actor Tony Randall’s impassioned support of
an American classical repertory theater. On Broadway, his National Actors
Theatre will begin its ninth season this fall, while in city high schools,
NAT’s educational initiatives incorporate America’s repertory theater
into innovative courses and programs. Also in this issue is the first of a
four-part survey of the New York City art world, as experienced by artist
and writer Therese Schwartz over the entire season 1997 - 1998. Her
incisive, evocative narrative illustrates, with carefully selected
examples, the state of the art world on the eve on the millennium.
In future issues you
can expect to see more from the worlds of art and new media, a report from
the musical theater of Istanbul, features on composers, conductors and
musicians, interviews with dancers and choreographers, works of
poetry and short fiction, and lively debate at the nexus of the arts, new
technologies, governments, treaties, laws, and the human experience. You
will also find imaginative uses of the latest in internet design and
technology, provided by the strong technological backbone of our publisher,
Arts4All, Ltd.
We invite your
comments, recommendations, suggestions for articles, and other creative
input. Send your emails to newsletter@arts4all.com.
