A quarterly literary magazine publishing personal review essays that explore how reading enriches the experience of art.

After the Art is a quarterly literary magazine founded in 2018 by Randon Billings Noble.

 It focuses on personal review essays that delve into how reading can enhance the experience of viewing art. Each essay discusses a piece of art alongside a written text, aiming to enrich the reader's understanding and appreciation of both. 

The magazine publishes issues in September, December, March, and June, with submission deadlines on August 15, November 15, February 15, and May 15. 

While currently unpaid, After the Art nominates works for Best of the Net, The Best American Essays, and the Pushcart Prize. Notably, essays by Dana Delibovi and Heidi Czerwiec have been recognized in The Best American Essays Notable list in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
