Kent Williams: Looking at Art's Provocative Side

With his award-winning arts criticism in Madison's Isthmus, Kent Williams makes the case for the local critic: someone who will see The Passion of the Christ the way the community sees it, who will marvel at the complexity of the pipe organ in the local symphony hall, and who will notice the naked sculpture at the local museum that people have walked past all these years without ever really understanding her.

Louisville Magazine Compares LEO and Gannett-Owned Weekly

Velocity is a weekly arts & entertainment tabloid that was spun off from Gannett's local daily, the Courier-Journal.
