MEET ARTSY 
This Saturday, August 25th starting at 8:00pm, come to 31 Grand to celebrate
the debut of Artsy, a newly-launched collectively-run women's arts magazine
(in print and on the web- see artsymag.com, if you please) founded early
this year in Amherst, Massachusetts.  Artsy has come a long way in a short
time, with her website garnering over 5,000 hits in its first month, and she
plans to grow even more popular.  In the first full-color 16-page issue of
Artsy, one can discover the work of fourteen emerging female artists and
writers, including mixed-media artist Jean Shin (recent front-page feature
of the Times' weekend section), and interviews with ad and film director
Souzan Alavi, old-school feminist artist Nancy Spero, and everyone's
favorite activists, the Guerrilla Girls.  A conversation with Judy Chicago
is in the can for the next issue, now that she has surmounted the task of
making herself presentable to a public that thought it had seen the last of
a certain movement beginning with the letter "F".

Artsy is a magazine poised to take on the large scale audience and a full
range of topics related to the woman's position within the art
establishment.  Come to Artsy's launch party and have a lot of fun while
supporting a worthy cause.  Meet the founders and a few of the artists, view
their work, enjoy food and drink, experience live music by a diverse range
of talented women (and a few men for good measure), see how "artsy-craftsy"
women can refuse to be.  Shows are scheduled to begin at 8, and with seven
acts, the party won't stop too soon.
