We are doing things differently next year. We welcome writers to pitch to us about things they feel passionate about, things that they are experts in.
This year, we have 6 types of article categories you can pitch for:
1. Insights
Insights provide a multi-perspective look at an issue from the art world, involving expert and practitioner interviews. Interviewees’ opinions need to be balanced with informed research on local, national or global climate.
Opinion pieces contain strong and well-informed opinions about topics in the art world. It can be about a pressing issue or a review of a significant exhibition or event.
Our monthly Artist Feature focuses on the artist’s artwork; how it ‘speaks’ about the artist’s opinions and worldview. The writer is not a mouthpiece to the artist. What the artist says, what their artwork says, should come through the lens of the writer’s understanding and research.
Our Community Feature highlights art venues or arts organisations. How does the place or organisation function and sustain itself? What is the philosophy behind it and how does that come across in reality?
An Easy Read uses condensed and well-researched writing to get to the point quickly. It is usually presented in a ‘how-to’ or list format, touching on topics that are of general interest to the arts community.
This feature is a condensed, bite-sized background and analysis of a selected artwork. Artwork featured should be available for viewing – whether it’s part of a gallery’s permanent collection or uploaded online.
