EVOLVER Magazine

Now in its twelfth year, and with around 50,000 people seeing every issue, [EVOLVER] is now firmly established as the first choice advertising medium for venues, galleries, arts organisations, artists and performers throughout the Wessex region.

Unlike all other local media, every issue of [EVOLVER] has a 'coffee-table life' of two months, with our listings pages repeatedly referred to by a readership that actively seeks out - or subscribes to - the magazine.

"I have made use of several contacts in [EVOLVER] - both in terms of visiting exhibitions and galleries, purchasing from suppliers who have advertised, and responding to opportunities."

"It's the best publication we know of to keep abreast of arts events in the region. I also like the artist profiles you do."

"It is the only magazine that makes me (in Bristol) feel part of Wessex."
