Governance & Standards

Governance defines our authority. As a digital art foundation and editorial platform, ART Walkway operates with principles that ensure independence, integrity, and continuity. The following standards form the charter that governs our work and defines our cultural responsibility.

Editorial Standards

Every feature is produced with research, fact-checking, and attribution as central obligations. Editorial integrity is non-negotiable and establishes the authority of our record.

– Research: All features are built on verifiable sources and documented context.
– Fact-Checking: Accuracy is reviewed prior to publication, with independent verification when necessary.
– Attribution: Intellectual and creative contributions are credited in full.
– Independence: Editorial outcomes remain sovereign, free from external influence.

Corrections & Accountability

Transparency requires clarity when errors arise.

– Corrections: Factual corrections are appended to the original text without erasure.
– Clarifications: Ambiguities are addressed with precision to protect the integrity of the record.
– Accountability: All corrections are dated and traceable within the archive.

Patronage Framework

Patronage sustains independence but never dictates content. It affirms a shared cultural responsibility: ensuring that the global art field is documented with integrity and preserved with permanence.

– Principle: Patronage is recognized as cultural alignment, not sponsorship.
– Purpose: All contributions are directed toward editorial programs, research, and archival commitments.
– Integrity: Financial support is acknowledged, but editorial sovereignty remains absolute.

Institutional Partnerships Charter

Partnerships are alliances of equals, contributing to cultural dialogue and continuity.

– Mutual Responsibility: Partnerships respect the autonomy of both parties.
– Shared Purpose: Projects are defined as contributions to the cultural canon, not marketing initiatives.
– Clarity: Terms of collaboration are transparent, documented, and aligned with institutional standards.

Archival Commitment

Preservation defines our mission.

– Digital Archive: Every feature enters our archive, preserved for future reference.
– Corrections Without Erasure: History is transparent — changes are recorded, not deleted.
– Continuity: The cultural record remains accessible across generations.
