Committed

We have been publishing Western Art Collector for 13 years now and don’t plan on going anywhere at all during this difficult time in American history. In fact, not only are we still continuing to publish this magazine every single month to help all our friends, galleries, artists and collectors, but we’ve even added a few new ways to help our clients reach the best and most active collectors on the market today.

First of all, we have started providing email services to our clients. With galleries and artists across the country having to close their doors for the time being, we think our email blasts will help get the best art in front of the best collectors each day. For all our subscribers, we hope this offers you a chance to keep finding out what is happening around the country—but now from the safety of your own home.

Secondly, as you know, several months ago we launched a new portal on our website that we call Online Gallery Spaces. These correspond to the advertisements you see in the magazine. Originally, we allowed clients to upload up to 20 works directly from their inventory. However, we have decided to remove the restriction and now people can upload up to 250 works directly to the website. These spaces are found down the right side of the website and all you need to do is look for the icon on the bottom of the image, see how many works are available for each show, and then browse and buy directly. If you hit the inquire button, your email goes directly to the represented gallery!

Finally, this thought came to me several weeks ago and I just wanted to share it with you. It’s so easy to not go to things. Museums, galleries, plays, concerts, street fairs, art fairs, lectures, films, culinary markets, sporting events, art walks, etc. Accept the invite on Facebook, get caught in your routine and then not go. I think the one thing I’ve realized from getting announcement after announcement of events being canceled is that a lot of time, hope, creativity, passion, energy and just plain old hard work goes into the planning and staging of such events and the world is a lesser place without them. My pandemic resolution is to actively and energetically participate in more of these once things normalize. They certainly make the world an even more pleasant and beautiful place!

Sincerely,

Joshua Rose
