This guide offers the top recommended resources for Art, Art History, and Design.

Art Magazines & News

 

There are many kinds of art periodicals, magazines, & news sources aimed at various audiences. 

 

  • Art magazines are commercial publications or news aimed at artists or the general public (think Art in America, Artforum, or Aperture).
  • Some art magazines can be distributed from independent, small press publishers, or be artist-made.
  • Art magazines are helpful sources for learning about the newest contemporary art, artists, and practices.
  • Art magazines are different from peer-reviewed scholarly journals.

 

Any periodical - from art magazines to scholarly journals - can be searched for in one place from the UW Libraries Journal Search.
