Local artists launch international art magazine  
by Mary Louise Schumacher
Many of us were pretty disheartened last year when the Armoury Gallery shuttered. The artists and curators who ran it, Cassandra Smith and Jessica Steeber, injected our art scene with something unique and hard to put words to. I always found something deeply human and thoughtful in the shows they put together. So much of the art seemed simple and effortless, in some respects. yet it kept me thinking longer than I would have imagined.
I knew that these gals would not go away for long, and I am happy to report that after mulling over many different types of projects, they've decided to launch an international art magazine called Fine Line. And, like their gallery, it will be very much their own. I got a peek at the mock up a few weeks ago and am very excited by the model they've devised. It will be nothing like the art magazines we know. It will be free of advertising, reviews, previews and biographies. It will present "carefully curated thoughts and ideas," they say.
