Sourcemonthly ceases publication

After a year of planning and another year of publishing seven issues, the publishers of Sourcemonthly have discontinued production of their interdisciplinary arts magazine.

 

Publisher Louis Jensen expressed her disappointment that membership response was insufficient to continue, and cited financial considerations as the main reason for making March 1983 the final issue.

 

Sourcemonthly was created to serve the needs of mimes, clowns, puppeteers, jugglers, and clowns.

 

Subscribers to Sourcemonthly will receive a formal notice in early May. For those interested, back issues will be available by direct mail from the publisher.

 

Of Concern To the IJA

Receiving many requests for information on juggling video, the IJA plans to begin keeping a list of people interested in exchanging tapes with others. If you'd like your name included, please write Gene Jones.

 

Anyone interested in performing during the Convention Public Show should also contact Gene Jones.

 

Helpers are needed for various aspects of the convention, such as security, registration, the championships and general assistance. Experienced video operators are also needed.   Gene Jones, IJA President, New Yock, NY.
