Advertising & partnerships
Advertise with Art Show Magazine
Reach people planning, producing and exhibiting at art shows.
Connect with readers exploring art shows, artist stories and the practical side of the art-show world.
Clear, limited inventory: Homepage, discovery, mid-page and section banner placements each support up to ten concurrent paid campaigns. Sponsored spotlights support up to ten paid campaigns, with up to three shown at a time. Paid promotions are labeled and remain separate from independent editorial coverage.
Banner rotation: Six-second rotation with previous, next and pause controls. Existing site promotions and publishing-family banners share unsold rotations; house promotions may exceed ten slides while no paid campaign is active. Paid campaigns take priority, with at most one house promotion when space remains. The paid booking limit remains ten.

Width adapts to the page column, up to 1300 px; images fit proportionally without cropping or stretching. Keep text brief and readable at smaller widths. Include descriptive alt text and a destination link.
Show and artist spotlight artwork uses 900 × 600 pixels (3:2).

Advertising and editorial
Paid spotlights, sponsored articles and display advertisements are clearly labeled. Advertising does not purchase favorable coverage, independent reviews or ordinary directory inclusion. We publish audience figures only when supported by measured data; no reach, traffic or sales result is guaranteed. Reports show aggregate viewable impressions and clicks.
