Reaching readers since 1999 at the ArtsEditorⓇ website with independent arts journalism in the areas of visual, performing, literary, film, and musical arts.

Founded and based in Boston, we’ve published hundreds of original feature articles, news items, and opinion pieces, and we’ll continue to publish stories happening anywhere with the help of locally-based arts journalists. ArtsEditorⓇ seeks contributing journalists and editors who possess the ability to question, reason, and reach independent conclusions through lively, expressive, rigorous prose.

A trusted resource for readers, ArtsEditorⓇ distinguishes itself through high-quality writing and its approach to the online medium. Digital technology has dismantled significant boundaries between creation and criticism. We aim to preserve the implicit strengths of an educated, authoritative voice while embracing the fluidity of an open medium with fewer physical, personal, and geographic constraints.

Reaching the 25th anniversary year, ArtsEditorⓇ has begun to develop its deployment of licensing offerings to independent publishers as an opportunity for them to obtain ownership of regionally-based ArtsEditorⓇ print magazines across the US and Canada. There’ll be more to convey about this fast-developing initiative as new alliances are formed and working teams are engaged to sell and manage the ArtsEditorⓇ licensing agreements.
