About City Arts Magazine
City Arts
Where arts come first. And last.
City Arts is an editorial product created by and for creative communities of the Puget Sound.
We aim to be at the center of the conversation around arts, music and creative living in Seattle, Tacoma and the Eastside. Founded in late 2006 as a bimonthly magazine for Tacoma, City Arts has grown from a traditional print magazine to a dynamic media enterprise — a triumvirate, if you will, of creative outlets. In three impressive packages, we deliver a healthy mix of commentary and suggestions to help savvy readers explore the culture that surrounds them.
Every month, three unique editions of City Arts magazine are published in an attractive, glossy format that gives readers the best way to keep tabs on artists and art. From sophisticated feature-length stories, to stellar photo essays, to comprehensive listings on the best regional events — each issue of City Arts brings you artful coverage of visual art, music, film, theatre and performance in three critical, creative communities in the region.
And it’s free throughout Seattle, Tacoma and the Eastside at coffee shops, restaurants, libraries, and of course, in our bright red, old-fashioned news boxes.
Pick up your copy today and check out our online archives of past issues to see the best theatre companies, dance groups, bands and just plain old creative people around Puget Sound, covered by some of our region’s most talented writers and photographers.
You can also subscribe for a nominal fee. Or, contact us about distributing copies of City Arts at your local business.
Launched in December 2009, CityArtsOnline.com is where we keep our finger on the daily pulse.
CAB (City Arts Blog – zing!) is the heartbeat of our online presence, bringing you timely reviews of film, food, music, visual art and theatre. The site is quickly expanding to include original videos, podcasts and slideshows, making for an impressive portfolio of arts coverage.
And, of course, you can find us linking, tweeting and commenting on our social media soapboxes all the time. 
City Arts has become a first class producer of live music events, readings, parties and other creative gatherings that bring the content of our editorial products to life and allow us new ways to reach our audience.
Visual art, music, fashion, poetry and prose are just a few art forms showcased at the well-attended events we host at various venues around town, including the Triple Door, Caffe Vita, Greg Gallery and Lounge, the Hideout, Nuemos, the Cha Cha, the Sorrento Hotel and more.
Stay tuned to our Events and Facebook pages for information on the most current happenings.
City Arts is a publication of Encore Media Group, a family-owned, Northwest-based publishing company that has been – for forty years – producing arts programs, travel guides and custom projects like the Seattle Art Dealer’s Association guide and the catalogue for Seattle International Film Festival.
Since launching almost four years ago, City Arts has traveled a significant distance. We have created three separate magazines for Seattle, Tacoma, and the Eastside, increased from bimonthly to monthly circulation in all three markets, launched an expanded Web site and blog and teamed up with Seattle's Sound magazine, to continue strengthening our coverage of Northwest arts and music.
