Two prominent art magazines, American Art Collector and Western Art Collector, are set to broaden their reach by partnering with Media Jet to distribute their publications in private jet terminals nationwide. Starting in April 2025, the magazines will be accessible at newsstands in over 70 private jet hubs across major U.S. cities.
The strategic distribution expansion aims to connect with a discerning audience of approximately 400,000 private jet passengers in destinations including Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. By targeting affluent travelers, the magazines hope to introduce their curated art content to potential collectors who have a high likelihood of purchasing fine art.
Published by Scottsdale-based International Artist Publishing, these magazines have specialized in art show previews since 2005, providing collectors with early insights into emerging and established artists. The publishers, Wendie Martin and Adolfo Castillo, describe their mission as connecting exceptional art with extraordinary collections.
This distribution strategy represents more than just increased visibility; it signifies a targeted approach to reaching art collectors who are actively seeking unique and valuable artwork. By positioning themselves in private jet terminals, the magazines are effectively meeting their target audience where they travel, work, and potentially make significant art acquisition decisions.
