Arts & Design
Craft, commerce and the visual language small brands use to look like something. Design coverage for people who have to make the thing, not just admire it.
Arts coverage usually treats creative work as culture and ignores that it is also an industry — one with inventory, margin, distribution problems and a chronic pricing difficulty.
This desk covers both halves, with a bias toward the commercial half because it is the half that gets written about least. Studios, galleries, makers, designers and small creative firms are businesses, and they face a set of problems that general business advice handles poorly.
What we cover
The commerce of making. Pricing original work, editions and reproduction rights, commission structures, and the perennial question of what to do when the work sells but the business does not.
Brand and identity design. Specifically for small companies, where the decision is usually made once, cheaply, and lived with for a decade.
Exhibitions and the gallery layer. What representation actually costs and what it returns.
Craft and materials. Including the reclaimed and heritage material trades, where supply constraints shape what can be made.
Live headlines below cover the broader arts world from established publications.
