A Closer Look

Welcome to American Art Collector’s March issue! Spring is arriving with momentum, sunshine and a renewed sense of the possibility in the art world. As collectors and galleries gather this month for Scottsdale Art Week, the energy is undeniable. Conversations are active, walls are full of fresh artwork, and collectors are once again engaging deeply with the art that moves them. Scottsdale Art Week is a destination in our own backyard, and we are very proud to have our American Art Collector team attending every event of the week and visiting with every gallery present. It is like a national homecoming for us. Many of our friends across the country descend on Scottsdale, Arizona, in March. We can’t wait! Book your ticket today because this art show is one of epic proportions. Housed in WestWorld of Scottsdale across 300,000 square feet, art is everywhere for the eye to behold.

One of the most meaningful throughlines in this issue is our Collector’s Focus on women artists. Managing editor Sarah Gianelli will speak to the importance of women artists and collecting their works in her editor’s letter on the next page.

Our gallery show previews this month highlight artists whose work is testament to where the market is heading and why collectors are paying attention. From the refined still lifes of Pam Ackley and her show at George Billis Gallery, to the evocative storytelling of Eunika Rogers with her show at Blue Rain Gallery, and the impressionistic depths of France Jodoin at Principle Gallery, each featured artist brings a distinct perspective.

These are just a few of the gallery preview highlights in the magazine and they reflect what American Art Collector has always stood for: supporting galleries, championing artists and serving collectors with insight you can trust. As we move through March into the heart of spring, we remain focused on the conversation that matters most—the one between the artist, the gallery and the collector. Thank you for being part of our community and we hope you find something inside that you can’t get anywhere else.

Enjoy!
