Started in 1994 as a bimonthly journal covering the Houston arts scene, Art Lies expanded its mission to include state, regional, and national coverage. Art Lies was distributed via bookstores, museum shops, and galleries across the country and ceased production in 2011 after 17 years in operation.

In the letter announcing the publication halt, the Art Lies board of directors wrote: “Through sixty-eight printed issues and related programming, we elevated recognition of Texas as a place where significant contemporary art is not only produced but also written about and discussed eloquently and professionally."

Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts, the national literary journal produced and published by Creative Writing Program graduate students, has merged with Art Lies: A Contemporary Art Journal.
