ART PAPERS ANNOUNCES SEARCH FOR NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The Art Papers Board of Directors announced today that the organization has
begun searching for a successor to Editor-in-Chief Charles Reeve. The
search is expected to last approximately five months, with the new editor
taking office this summer. To ensure a smooth transition, Dr. Reeve will
remain as editor until his successor is ready to assume the full range of
editorial responsibilities.
Now one of the world's top 5 art publications according to a 2002 study by
Columbia University, Art Papers also recently received the Utne Independent
Press Award for best arts/literary coverage of 2003. The magazine will
conduct an extensive search to find the next talented writer and editor with
the vision to continue its unique independent coverage of contemporary art
into what promises to be an extraordinary future. Jamie Badoud, Executive
Director since 2000, says, "The organization has never been stronger,"
pointing out that both revenues and circulation are at an all-time high.
Among Art Papers' latest achievements, Dr. Reeve calls the "revived public
events program, magazine redesign, and increase in writers' fees" some of
his proudest accomplishments.
Board President Che Watkins added, "It has been a pleasure working with Dr.
Reeve, and we wish him continued success as we look forward to building on
the work he has accomplished during his tenure with our organization."
