We Want Your Input!
As Painting World Magazine continues to grow, we’re exploring ways to bring you even more variety—features that celebrate the full spectrum of creativity in our community.

To do this means every feature we include has to be even more intentional. That’s where you come in:

What would YOU most like to see in Painting World Magazine?
1) Fine art with featured works

2) Grands & Little Brushes — creative connections across generations

3) In-depth stories on industry leaders & pioneers shaping the art world

4) Expanded legacy spotlights honoring the roots of decorative painting

5) Spotlight on artist success stories

6) More step-by-step tutorials & surface designs

7) Self-help & resources for selling art, building your creative business, and growing as an artist

8) Other- Please describe

9) Less step by step and more product & tool highlights — reviews, techniques, and how artists are using them

10) How to revitalize a shifting market and engage the next generation of artists

****To expand the scope of our content, we may need to reduce the number of step-by-step projects in each issue. While this means fewer tutorials overall, it would also allow us to make the magazine more exclusive, curated, and impactful—balancing hands-on instruction with inspiring features, fine art highlights, industry insights, and legacy stories that enrich the entire creative community.

Pick all numbers that apply. We need to hear from all of you, "The Community"

Your feedback matters—we want the magazine to truly reflect you: the artists, teachers, and makers who keep this community alive and thriving.

Drop your thoughts in the comments or send us a message. Together, we’ll shape the future of Painting World Magazine!
