The Truth About 1340 Art Magazine

7/23/2019

Like many artists, I was approached through my Instagram page to submit my artwork to 1340 Magazine. It cost me $30 in hope of being one of the lucky few to have my work published. After doing so, I did a quick internet search on 1340 Magazine to see what other artists were saying about it. Unfortunately, many claimed that the magazine is a scam with others agreeing. Initially I thought, "Crap, I'm out 30 bucks". I apply to a lot of art shows and competitions online and I viewed 1340 Magazine as a chance to have my paintings published. 

Fast forward a couple months later and I received an email saying my work was accepted into the magazine and I would receive my free copy within a few weeks. In my case, this first copy never showed up. Luckily, I kept that email and responded back asking for another copy. To to their word, I did eventually receive my magazine, and yes, it's legit. See the proof below.

While I'm not exactly on the 1st page, I am featured. So for those who say this 1340 is a scam, it is not. It's simply another opportunity to have a chance for your work to be seen by others. I don't view this any different from art shows where you pay a fee, submit your art, and maybe you will be accepted. Being published in a magazine is expensive, I've done it; well, my gallery helped pay the bill. The truth is, if you want to be completely confident you will be printed, it will cost about 10 times the amount 1340 Magazine asks for.
