> RECOMMENDED ART RESOURCES   
Press/Pub: ANP Quarterly
Outstanding , nearly ad-free oversize periodical from SoCal. Free at places like Deitch Project. The mag. profiles so many women artists--Uta Barth, Rita Ackerman, Lisa Eisner, Sister Corita Kent, Cheryl Dunn, JD Samson and Emily Roysdon, and Margaret Kilgallen, and more! Love that! From the mag website: Our goal is not to focus on current events or "who's hot" but rather to bring forward people and phenomena that deserve acknowledgement and coverage regardless of their place in time.
Press/Pub: Tate, etc.
Just Trust Me!
