After 17 Years, Art Lies Decided to Take a Break, Plans to Shut Down Journal and Site

Though originally founded to cover the Houston arts scene, the journal Art Lies wound up branching out over the past 17 years, covering and critiquing art goings-on around the world. Now it’s all coming to an end, with the announcement this week that they’ve decided to shut down both their print edition and publishing content on their site as of May. While referred to as “a period of hiatus and reflection,” the tone of the announcement seems to imply that after the reflection might come some additional silence.
