The New Space for Arts Coverage
First reactions to the arrival of The Arts Desk
Tuesday, 29 September 2009
"theartsdesk.com is a really exciting new development for all arts consumers, journalists, promoters, movers and shakers"
"The Arts Desk is a bloody good read, and tasting nice and reliable"
"The line-up of writers is already so distinguished"
"A daily must-visit, I’d have thought"
"It is exciting to see theartsdesk.com using advancing technologies to cover the arts in new and innovative ways"
"Brill
iant content, very impressive list of contributors and a much needed counterpart to the shrinking of arts coverage in the printed media"
"Pages like this are the future of arts journalism. BIG-UP!"
Since launching on 9/9/9, theartsdesk.com has won the arts community's praise as the most exciting development in arts media for a long time, the first professionally produced arts site in Britain.
What it offers is different, richer, faster and more direct than print arts - overnight reviews, in-depth features, unusually revealing interviews, a new approach that integrates film, visuals and audio into the writing, to make a whole new sensory experience of reading about art.
