fyi...i got a subscription to dialogue thinking that it would be good for me as a chicago artist...but i now wish i hadn't because even though it says it has a "midwest" focus, it is really based in ohio. almost all the ads are for stuff happening in ohio, and almost none of the announcements are for shows in illinois, much less chicago. it seems like they are deliberately avoiding chicago (maybe because it gets so much coverage from other sources) and emphasizing ohio. there's nothing wrong with this if you live there, but for me it was a waste of money ($20/year). i get a small amount of useful info out of each issue, but that's it.

Thanks, Laura. Maybe people might want to stick to individual issues:
May/June issue (annual feature annual focus on Chicago)
July/August issue (annual Arts Guide to the Midwest Region)
I emailed the folks at Dialogue and here's where they say you can find their magazine in Chicago. (I'm assuming these bookstores might have them in other cities too.)
Borders
Barnes & Noble
Tower Records
For specific the list of specific addresses in Chicago, go to:

(not every bookstore carries 'em, better check out this list, or call ahead)

Hey, hey, I've got me a new job as a designer at Tribune Media Services.
Tribune Media Services is a leading provider of information and entertainment products to newspapers and electronic media. They syndicate and license comics, features and opinion columns; television listings; Internet, online and wire services; and advertising networks.
http://www.tms.tribune.com
Pretty cool stuff. I'll be doing print design, web design, and illustrations for their art department (direct mail, flyers, media kits, promotional stuff, website stuff, collateral stuff, etc.)
SO HOW WILL THIS AFFECT ARTIWU? Since I both live AND work in the city now, I will be able to attend more Chicago art events; therefore, artiwu will recieve better Chicago art scene tips and reviews. Plus, I'll share with you how a syndicate works and how to get your work syndicated. Cool.
By the way, you can share any of your own news with artiwu. Like new jobs, awards, appearing in publications, etc.
