Welcome to the home of The Jackdaw

The Jackdaw is a monthly paper (ten a year) founded in 2000.
Its purpose is to keep interested parties informed and entertained about aspects of art which are in the news.

By and large it’s pretty nasty and critical of many things, and especially of the art establishment which stinks like the rotting carcase it is.
If The Jackdaw isn’t amusing in parts then it has failed. It’s pretty childish sometimes too and do beware because parts of it are not entirely true – I’ll leave it up to you to believe whichever bits you like and to disregard the rest.

Some of it is serious. Some of it is just downright bad. Some issues are better than others. But no other art publication dares to be like it.

The last thing I want you to think is that The Jackdaw has an agenda. On the contrary, it doesn’t believe in anything at all and, by the way: “It’s totally unsuitable for Birmingham”*.

I’ll send you a complimentary copy if you email your address.
