IRISH ARTS REVIEW
30th Anniversary Autumn issue
On sale 29 August until 21 November 2014 



Dear Watercolour Society of Ireland Members,
The Irish Arts Review is read by 40,000 people and recognised internationally as the most important showcase for Irish art on the world stage attracting an audience of serious art buyers and influential individuals in the arts in Ireland and around the world. The 30th anniversary Summer issue was launched by the Irish Ambassador at the Embassy of Ireland in London on 11th June, with a great turn out by the Irish corporate and arts community in London and much interest in the magazine.

For the upcoming 160th Exhibition I would like to offer you a special rate to promote your own work to a very well- targeted readership of buyers.
1/4p at e500 plus vat (reduced from e1000) to run from 29 Aug to 21st Nov.  Ad design e20 plus vat if required. Deadline 4th August.
I look forward to talking to about this and other options.

The Autumn issue will feature sculptor Bob Sloan as the main interview, artists Duncan Campbell, Cian McLoughlin, Graham Gingles, Elizabeth Cope, Tom Fitzgerald, the highlights from the Irish Graduate Shows and more. 

Your advertising will be seen for 3 months by:

The largest arts readership reached by any title in Ireland and Northern Ireland
  • Private collectors and business people who invest in art and sculpture
  • Buyers for collectors, corporate collections and institutions
  • Directors and curators of galleries, museums and arts institutions in Ireland and the UK
  • Art critics, writers and art historians, art students, lecturers and academics
  • Auctioneers, picture dealers and art advisers 
  • Senior officials in State Bodies and County Councils relating to the arts
  • Arts professional working in galleries, County Councils, art centres, museums and institutes
  • Architects and interior designers who purchase art for their clients
  • AB consumers who buy art and collectibles for their homes

Plus  a unique AB corporate and international readership

6,000 loyal postal subscribers receive the magazine immediately it is published and 5,000 retail copies are sold in 600 outlets in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

<    Exposure to up to 40,000 readers over 3 months: industry standards suggest that a quarterly magazine that is around for 3 months reaches an average of 4 readers per copy. It is of course impossible to give you specific figures of readers per copy, but because the Irish Art Review is such a high quality magazine which is kept as a collector’s item and for reference in galleries, museums, libraries, universities and other institutions, our readers per copy may be higher than the industry standard.
Best wishes,

Yvonne Smalley,
