Studio Visit Magazine is a juried fine arts magazine that goes out to over 2,000 galleries and curators around the country. It represents emerging and mid level career artists. With each volume representing over 100 artists it is a fun visual feast to partake of. I myself have enjoyed looking at this publication for several years now and always find intriguing artists to check out I had not heard of before. This last winter I decided to enter my own artwork to Studio Visit which has a new jury with each issue. To my delight I got in! It’s been a long and eager time in the waiting (since February) to get the volume I’d be published in (26) but it is finally on it’s way in the snail mail and I should receive it any day now! In the meanwhile I was able to check it out digitally online where you are able to download it for free. My page appears at the very end of volume 26 as my last name is Young and the magazine is in alphabetical order. It was pleasant to discover four other Portland artists in this issue as well as an artist who’s work I admire (Marlana Stoddard Hayes). Portland is so full of creative folks! It is my hope that by getting my name into such a publication as Studio Visit with a widespread readership of curators and galleries that I may gain some new opportunities and exposure. Wish me luck!
