ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Art is an invitation, not a test.

A present-day visitor resource built from primary place information and a careful reading of the domain’s earlier arts directory.

What we make

The Old City Arts editorial desk creates looking exercises, route outlines, original diagrams and source-linked place guides. New editorial text is not presented as a statement from a gallery, a curator or the former association. Venue programmes and attendance arrangements remain with their organisers.

How sources are handled

Place addresses and programme descriptions link to Old City District and official venue information. Dated directory entries and recovered print documents supply context for the neighbourhood notebook. A proposed print run is not readership; an old address is not current directions; a familiar name is not evidence of continuous organisational status.

The earlier association

The domain’s surviving 2000s pages describe an Old City Arts Association formed in 1991. That account is retained in the neighbourhood story. This visitor guide does not claim current nonprofit registration, membership operations, venue partnerships or bookings on behalf of that association.

Images and diagrams

The home-page collage is an original AI-assisted editorial illustration. Other geometric studies and the street schematic are original graphics. They do not reproduce an artist’s work or claim to show a real exhibition. No portrait, testimonial or measured visitor counter has been invented.

Corrections and planning

If a venue’s information differs from this guide, use its own current programme and contact page before travelling. Source links are provided with the relevant place or story. Publisher contact details are not inferred from old records.
