Arts Illuminated Pty Ltd, the publisher of Limelight, is looking for a new publisher or for bridging financial support to save the magazine from closure, the Limelight website announced today, stating: « Without this, the publication will close. »
According to the publisher, « Limelight is Australia’s leading arts magazine with a special focus on classical music and opera. In recent years, it has also increased its coverage of theatre, dance and the visual arts. At a time when arts coverage in Australia is diminishing, Limelight has an increasingly vital role to play, given the informed, in-depth, long-form, lively coverage of the arts that it offers. No one else in Australia is covering classical music and opera as widely or reviewing such a large number of classical CDs. »
