Antiques and the Arts Weekly

Antiques and The Arts Weekly is an American, national weekly magazine covering art and antiques.[1]

History

Antiques and The Arts Weekly was founded in 1963 by R. Scudder Smith, publisher of the Newtown Bee, a newspaper covering Newtown, Connecticut that was founded by Smith's grandfather in 1877.[2] in 1988 the Weekly had a paid circulation of 23,000 in Europe, Canada and the United States.[2] A publication for the trade, the Weekly is regarded as an important source of journalism about the American and Canadian antiques market.[3]

In 1991 architect Roger P. Ferris of Southport, Connecticut, designed a large, new, printing plant for the Weekly, with a fieldstone base and cedar shingle walls and roof designed to fit in with Newtown's carefully preserved historic look.[4]
