June 2024

With summer on the horizon, the June issue of American Art Collector presents our 18th annual Collector's Focus: Marine Art. Featuring nautical, sea and coastal scenes, these pieces have the ability to transport the viewer to a specific moment in time. With a collector base all its own, these highly prized works feature sailing vessels, marinas, harbor views, canals, ports, lighthouses, oceans, beaches and more. In this special feature dedicated to the timeless genre, American Art Collector will showcase a broad range of new artworks that capture ocean- and boating-inspired scenes by artists working from coast-to-coast. Be sure to book your space today to share your marine art with its many collectors nationwide.

In the June 2024 issue, American Art Collector returns with its Collector’s Focus: Pastels, a special feature dedicated solely to this versatile and accessible medium. Pastels are widely popular among artists because of their rich pigmentation and simple set-up—all you need is a piece of paper and you are ready to start creating. Whether working with soft pastels or hard, oil or chalk-based, pastels are easily portable and allow for quick work, making them a favored medium for painting in plein as well as in-studio. This feature will run in conjunction with the Pastel Society of New Mexico’s Signature Member Show. Don’t miss this once-a-year opportunity to show our readers what can be achieved in the medium of pastel!

In the June issue, American Art Collector shines a spotlight on the Midwestern states of this country in our annual Art Lover's Guide to Collecting Fine Art in the Great Lakes Region. In addition to highlighting major art destinations such as Chicago, American Art Collector will also introduce to hidden gems such as Door County, Wisconsin; Traverse City, Saugatuck-Douglas and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Join us on a tour through the best galleries and museums in these thriving cultural hubs and quaint lakeside locales.
