Receive An Art Review!
Since its inception, Manhattan Arts International, has attracted a growing population of art professionals and art lovers from around the world. Prior to establishing this website in late 1999, it was a leading NYC-based art magazine, 1983-2000, founded by Renee Phillips.
The Art Review is considered an important professional endorsement.
Artists who have received Art Reviews written by Renee Phillips, Director, Curator, and Editor of Manhattan Arts International, have benefitted from increased art sales, publicity, SEO results, gallery representation, professional credibility, creative clarity, and a boost of confidence.

Renee, I am hoping to send you a pdf of a 108 page photobook of my art quilts with narrative to the address listed for the Manhattan Arts address because my web site is just now going up and I don’t want to put pages of the book or the art pieces on it as my project is intended to be viewed in the flow of the book with narrative. I located this address (hope it is right) and am prepared to send it but perhaps you can tell me first if you make exceptions to the specific format in wh you requested information on the project. I suspect your fee will be greater for the higher level review wh I seek as a book. Can you give me the go ahead to send the pdf and info from the form with my letter to you as I am soon launching the book which is entitled “Places We Find Ourselves: Quilt Art for Facing Adversity?” Another is soon ready to go called: “Canyonlands of the Soul: Companioning an Embattled Loved One.” Thank you. -Meg
