Over the summer, the fiber arts community suffered a loss. That loss was the ending of Fiber Arts magazine. Most of us were shocked when we received our "last issue" with a note from the editor that it was to be the last issue. I was sad, and I have to admit a little worried. It's no comfort when an industry magazine goes under, and you're part of that industry! I was a bit concerned about the future of fiber arts, when our one dedicated periodical failed. Did it mean something for our medium? Had we lost our opportunity to really get fiber arts out there and into the fine art world?
Then the word got out. A new fiber art magazine! Fiber Art Now.
Fiber Art Now is headed up by editor-in-chief Marcia Young. Marcia has been running the online magazine Valley Fiber Life since 2009 and has taken the next step, by creating and publishing Fiber Art Now.
I am very excited to see the first issue due out in October. The magazine will be quarterly and you can get your subscription from their website.
