—Estimated readership: ca. 27,000 (based on the industry standard of three people on average reading each copy)

—Readers include a diverse mix of artists, art professionals, cultural critics, designers, academics, students, and scientists. Institutional subscriptions go to museums like MoMA and the Stedelijk, libraries such as Yale University and the New York Public Library, and to some of the most highly regarded figures working in the fields of art and culture.

—Cabinet is widely distributed in the US at independent bookstores, museum stores, Barnes & Noble, Hudson News, and Universal News.
