Magazines:                                          
 
Read, read, read.
The best way to become knowledgeable about the art world is through the media.
Read the articles in your local newspapers about the shows that are being put on before you go to them.
Check these listings for upcoming events. If you are in a large enough city, there will be lectures and shows to go to almost every week.
Just don't be too influenced by the writers and critics.
They are sometimes the least knowledgeable of them all.
You will eventually find some that you can trust.
 
The magazines, both local, national and international, reviews of the bigger movements, and activities in the art world, are good sources of criticism.
Here are some of the better-known national magazines:
Art News, Art Forum, Art in America, and Art and Antiques.
