OUR COMMITMENT
Art World News is focused on making you the art publisher, art wholesaler, framing supplier, gallery owner and director, custom framer, and artist successful. We do so by creating the best-read trade magazine serving the art and framing industry. The relationship is simple. The more appealing and credible art dealers, retail galleries, custom frameshops and OEMs view the publication, the more time they spend with each issue they receive and the higher they hold in regard the information they derive from the magazine. This is why advertising works so well in Art World News.
Founded in 1996, Art World News was created by industry experts John Haffey, Sarah Seamark, and Brooks Male as a vehicle to provide the art and framing industry with a trade-only publication that is an independent news source offering galleries and frameshops the latest news, business strategies, and product and technology information. John Haffey, publisher, is an industry veteran, bringing a knowledge of not only the art and framing industry, but also of magazine and custom book publishing. Sarah Seamark, editor in chief, has worked in the industry for many years, as well as contributing to books related to the art world. Managing editor Koleen Kaffan joined the team in 2002, having previously worked for a fashion-related trade magazine.
The reason more long-standing quality publishers, art wholesalers, and framing suppliers advertise with Art World News on an exclusive basis is that the value they receive is unparalleled. The key to a successful advertising campaign is running a consistent program in a highly regarded, quality medium. We recognize this fact and offer the most competitive advertising rates in the business to allow our advertisers to maintain high visibility before their customers and prospects.
All our resources are focused toward creating opportunities that lead to your success. Our winning formula continues to help grow our clients’ businesses. We would like the chance to discuss your challenges and opportunities with you and would enjoy the opportunity to help you build your business.
