[1] Art Almanac is issued 11 times a year, with alphabetical listings of exhibitions at select Australian galleries, organised regionally.
It provides a guide to art services and artist opportunities across all Australian states and territories with city and region maps.
[8] When issues became irregular in 1982, the then George Paton Gallery director Judy Annear mailed an apology to subscribers and commercial production and distribution was initiated from June 1982, with Paul Nolan as publisher, adopting the current A5 format printed on gloss art paper.
Under her editorship and despite her lack of any previous publishing experience, Art Almanac expanded to include galleries in Sydney and nationally.
[8] Art Almanac continued under the management of the McCulloch family before being acquired by nextmedia Pty Limited in late 2011.
