April 2026

Show Your Artwork in Our April Issue. Plan your marketing around these specially focused features.


History and culture collide in the Lone Star State. Home to the Alamo, some of the early and important cattle drives and timeless Western iconography, Texas has played a vital role in Western art history. It’s also the home to some of the largest galleries, auction houses, museums and art districts. Today Texas inspires artists and collectors alike. Western Art Collector will return with its popular State of the Art: Texas feature in the April issue. We will provide coverage on Western art destinations from Austin, Boerne, Dallas/Fort Worth, Clifton, and Fredericksburg to Houston, Granbury, Richmond, San Antonio and all stops in between.

Returning to our popular April issue is Collector’s Focus: The Old West, in which we examine the West and its fascinating past, from the early cattle drives and pioneers crossing the frontier to Native Americans who lived in harmony with the land and the early explorers who encountered them. These stories and many others will be featured in this 15th edition of the section in the April issue of Western Art Collector. Don’t miss this chance to show our readers your artwork depicting the Old West!
