Thinking of canceling your ArtNews subscription? You're not alone. Founded way back in 1902, ArtNews is a huge name in the art world, covering everything from gallery openings to those wild auction prices that make you question reality. Maybe you subscribed to follow the NFT craze and now it's just cluttering your inbox. It happens. With plans ranging from about $59.99 to $79.99, you can save up to $80 a year by canceling. This guide will help you cancel your subscription on their desktop site, since that's the primary way to manage it.
How to Cancel ArtNews Subscription on Desktop
Canceling your ArtNews subscription is usually done through their website. It can be a little confusing because many magazine subscriptions are handled by third-party services. Honestly, I had to refresh the page once because the 'Manage Subscription' link didn't load correctly the first time. Just be patient.
1 Log Into Your Account
Go to the ArtNews website and find the 'Sign In' or 'My Account' link. It's usually at the top right of the homepage. You'll need the email and password you used when you first subscribed.
2 Find Your Subscription Settings
Once you're logged in, look for a section called 'My Account,' 'Subscription,' or 'Manage Subscription.' Magazine websites can be a bit clunky, so you might have to poke around a bit. It's not always obvious.
3 Select the Cancel Option
This is the important part. Look for a link or button that says 'Cancel Subscription' or 'Turn Off Auto-Renewal.' They might make you click through a survey or offer you a discount to stay. Just keep going until you find the final cancellation button.
4 Confirm Your Cancellation
After you cancel, you should see a confirmation message on the screen and, more importantly, get a confirmation email. Do not skip this. Save that email as proof. If you don't get one within an hour, something might have gone wrong.
Cancel ArtNews Subscription with phone
You can call their customer service at 1-800-284-4625. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. Have your account number or the mailing address associated with your subscription ready to go. Their hours are typically standard business hours, Eastern Time.
Cancel ArtNews Subscription with email
Send an email to service@artnews.com to request a cancellation. Make sure to include your full name and subscription details. Email is good for creating a paper trail, but it can take a few business days to get a response.
Before you cancel, know that you typically won't get a refund for any time left on your current subscription term. You'll just keep your access until the period you paid for ends. Your account information will likely remain, but you'll lose access to subscriber-only content. They don't seem to offer a way to pause your subscription, so canceling is the main option.
