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is optional and simply adds a printed edition, early access to studio visits, and a monthly newsletter with links we do not publish elsewhere.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.
