Great resource and amazing community members

I have been so impressed with how much they help me get my ideas out there! They are always willing to answer questions promptly or take time for new artists from all over who want exposure through their website!! Their customer service cannot be beat as well. The only thing that i dislike about them at this point in our relationship has nothing really do deal directly w/ heavytime themselves but more of an administrative issue which could not easily fix by myself (i am still learning). If…

Pros
  • The staff is so helpful and friendly and very easy to work with
Cons
  • I do wish they had more of a presence in the community and that they were a bit more well known

Great place and platform where anyone looking

It's really great to find art out there in your area that you can't get anywhere else! I love how they have so much work by local artists including myself which makes it easier for people like me who live outside of Chicago with limited access because of distance or living situation etc., (which happens quite often) to visit events hosted at Lightbox/HeavyTime to see cool stuff from other places around my city as well!! Also their website is very easy going if not super user-friendly but still…

Pros
  • How many talented upcoming creatives are featured
  • Easy navigation system + aesthetically pleasing design
  • Great location choices always something fun happening somewhere near most areas within our town.
  • Many different types / categories available such visual arts & photography along side writing workshops+ more coming soon
Cons
  • Mostly okay, but...

Interesting Books with Excellent Artists

I like Heavy Time's approach to publishing work that is not easily accessible in mainstream culture. Their publication of 'The Last Days' by Jens Hoffmann was a great way to get his work out there. The heavy paper stock and the fact that it is printed in Germany gives the publication a weighty feel. The format is simple and easy to follow. There are some fantastic artists (and writers) featured in this magazine. The layout is also very clean and easy to navigate. It is a bit pricey for my taste

Pros
  • High quality
  • Well made design aesthetic/layouts
Cons
  • Can be expensive

Inspirational publication on art & graphic design

I really like that this publication was made by people who are artists themselves. They understand how to engage with their audience in an effective way and have great attention to detail as well! The layout of each issue has always been unique from one another - very creative! It's fun to read because you never know what kind of content/art will be featured next. Sometimes it's a little hard to follow sometimes due to all the small images but it's still totally worth reading. This magazine is…

Pros
  • Great variety
  • Variety = better quality, especially when there aren't many issues around
Cons
  • All fine
