I recently found out about your newsletter while exploring substack for art related stuff, as I'm an artist and cultural producer on the side.

I've been thinking about starting a Contemporary Art Social Club where people gather online (or in person) for an hour and talk about art and sip on wine, but maybe starting an art magazine can be just as fulfilling for me. Furthermore, I have a good background for this, so let's talk! I mean it!

Great write up. Art Forum has been a clusterfuck behind the scenes for a while now.

I’m all here for Spigot Mag — I wish the usual writing-about-art had this quality and entertainment value. The art world is missing critics that have something to say, or want to say something, and not just bang out retarded run-of-the-mill takes to fill the space in-between ads. Patrick McGraw’s Heavy Traffic is somewhat proof that it is possible to have an independent magazine release, but I’m sure it’s a lot of work with very little in return.

Here’s to Spigot Magazine!
