In my opinion, when it comes to knowing the heart beat of American painters, no publication comes close to the Open Studio Press' "New American Paintings." Published six times a year, it's a juried exhibition in print. Each competition is cataloged in a regional volume of New American Paintings: Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic, Southern, Midwestern, Western and Pacific Coast and presents the work of roughly 40 painters. Featured artists are selected on the basis of artistic merit by one juror and receive four pages of their work, bio and artist statement for free. Finalists are either over-the-top technical executionists or fresh, original, new visionaries in our field of painters. Go to their website to find out how to apply.
I have been a subscriber for ten years and have saved all by issues. When my copy arrives in the mail, it's like receiving a birthday present!
You can either subscribe annually ($89 for six editions) or pick up single copies at popular book stores for $20.
