Clarifications on the Editorial Process

How do you define an emerging artist?

We use the term for artists who have not yet had a major institutional solo show or consistent gallery representation for more than five years. The focus stays on the work itself, not on market value or auction records.

What counts as a studio visit?

A studio visit means we spend time in the actual workspace where the artist makes their pieces. We document the tools, unfinished works, and the physical layout. We do not accept pre-arranged showroom tours or virtual walkthroughs as substitutes.

Are the interior design guides based on real projects?

Yes. Every guide references a specific apartment, house, or public space we have visited. We name the designer or owner when they agree to be identified. If a project is anonymous, we say so clearly and explain why.

Do you accept submissions from artists or galleries?

We do consider pitches sent to our editorial email. However, we do not publish paid features or sponsored reviews. If a piece is written about a gallery that advertises with us, that relationship is disclosed in the article footer.

How do you handle corrections and retractions?

If a factual error is reported, we verify it with the source and publish a correction note within ten working days. For significant errors that change the meaning of an article, we update the text and add an editor's note at the top.

What is your policy on image use?

We only use images provided by the artist, the gallery, or the designer, or images we take ourselves during a visit. We do not pull photos from social media without permission. Every image is credited in the caption.

These notes are meant to make our editorial decisions transparent. If you have a question that is not covered here, write to our editorial team and we will answer directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical answers about reading Renaé Hanvin, finding artists and exhibitions, and how to make the most of the magazine as a collector or student.

How often is the magazine published?

We publish a new edition every two months, with smaller studio notes and exhibition reviews appearing in between. Each edition is built around a central theme, so you can read an issue cover to cover or jump straight to the interviews and visual essays that interest you.

Do I need a subscription to read the articles?

No. All essays, interviews, and guides are free to read on the site. A subscription is optional and simply adds a printed edition, early access to studio visits, and a monthly newsletter with links we do not publish elsewhere.

How do you choose the artists and designers you feature?

We look for creators with a clear process and a body of work that rewards close looking, not just a strong portfolio. Many of the artists we cover are mid-career or emerging, and we try to balance established names with people who have not had much press attention yet.

Can I suggest an artist or studio for a future edition?

Yes. Send us a short note with the artist's name, a link to their work, and a sentence about why they would fit the magazine. We read every suggestion, though we can only respond when a submission moves forward to the editorial stage.

I am new to collecting. Where should I start?

Start with the collector guides in the resources section, which cover student exhibitions, open studio events, and online platforms for affordable works. The key is to buy what you can live with, not what you think will appreciate. Our guides explain how to evaluate a piece beyond its price tag.

Do you review exhibitions outside major cities?

We do. Regional galleries and university shows often feature work that never reaches the main art capitals, and we make a point of covering them. If you know of an exhibition that deserves attention, use the contact page to tell us about it.

Still have a question? Contact the editorial team or browse the collector guides for more detailed advice.
