Peers

• Boston Globe Magazine:

Direct peers

• ARTnews: ARTnews is one of the oldest and most recognized art magazines, covering global and U.S. art markets, auctions, and exhibitions. It overlaps with Artscope on visual arts coverage and gallery/museum advertising, though at a much broader geographic and financial scale.
• Boston Magazine: Boston Magazine is a monthly city/regional magazine covering arts, culture, dining, and lifestyle in the Boston metro area, which overlaps directly with Artscope's primary market. It is a larger, broader incumbent competing for the same arts coverage advertising and subscription dollars.
• Down East Magazine: Down East is a Maine-focused regional magazine covering culture, food, and the arts. It is a direct geographic peer of Artscope in New England, with a comparable bimonthly print cadence, subscription pricing, and editorial emphasis on regional cultural coverage.
• Art in America: Art in America is a long-established monthly art magazine covering the U.S. visual arts scene with reviews, profiles, and exhibition coverage. It competes with Artscope for advertising from galleries and museums, but at a national rather than regional scale.
• Artforum: Artforum is a leading contemporary art magazine publishing criticism, reviews, and features on visual arts globally. It is comparable to Artscope as a print+digital art-criticism publication, though it serves a national/international, more academic audience.
• Yankee Magazine: Yankee Magazine is a bimonthly New England lifestyle publication covering travel, culture, and regional heritage. Like Artscope, it operates a print-plus-digital subscription model with deep regional distribution, serving the same New England geographic audience with a similarly sized team.

Emerging players

• Hyperallergic: Hyperallergic is a digital-first arts publication covering visual art, culture, and criticism with a strong online and social media presence. It overlaps Artscope's arts-criticism editorial mission but is purely digital, and competes for the same online reader and advertising attention in visual arts.

Broad incumbents

• The Art Newspaper: The Art Newspaper is a globally distributed print and digital publication covering the international art world, including market news, exhibitions, and policy. It is a broader incumbent than Artscope, serving an international audience but overlapping in the visual arts editorial and advertising category.

Regional players

• Cape Cod Life Magazine: Cape Cod Life is a regional lifestyle and culture magazine covering the Cape Cod area within Artscope's core New England footprint. It is a regional peer with similar print-plus-digital subscription economics and partial geographic overlap, though broader in scope (lifestyle vs. pure arts).
