Editorial work
How does ART Walkway decide what to publish?
Coverage is determined by cultural significance, structural consequence, evidentiary availability and relevance to ART Walkway’s editorial record.
ART Walkway prioritises relevance over volume. We do not publish in response to promotion, access, market visibility, institutional pressure or publicity demand alone.
Editorial judgment is based on the subject’s relevance to the cultural field, the strength of available evidence, the public or archival value of the material and the editorial purpose of the work.
What kinds of work does ART Walkway publish?
ART Walkway publishes cultural reporting, analysis, reviews, field notes, interviews, research-led essays, reference texts and field mapping.
Published work is intended to remain useful beyond the immediate news cycle and to contribute to a maintained cultural record.
ART Walkway may cover artists, exhibitions, galleries, institutions, fairs, policy developments, patronage, technology, labour, markets, public trust and other forces shaping cultural authority.
Does ART Walkway cover time-sensitive developments?
Yes, where the development has editorial significance.
ART Walkway is not built around speed alone. We prioritise verification, context and lasting relevance over volume.
Do you accept submissions?

ART Walkway reviews proposals, source material and relevant cultural-field information. We do not publish material simply because it has been submitted.
The correct address depends on what you are sending:
- news[at]artwalkway.com

Yes.
Please identify the artist, project, institution or publication clearly, and state your role in relation to the material. Where relevant, include public references, dates, links, image rights information and any embargo terms.
Representation does not create editorial obligation, priority or approval rights.
Can I send embargoed material?
Yes, where relevant.
Embargo terms must be stated clearly in the subject line and body of the message. Embargoed material may be reviewed, but embargo status does not guarantee coverage, publication timing or editorial priority.

Does ART Walkway accept hospitality, travel or accommodation?
Access, travel, accommodation, tickets, hospitality or other benefits do not guarantee coverage or favourable treatment.

Corrections and accountability
How do corrections work?
When factual errors are identified, ART Walkway corrects them in a way that preserves the integrity of the record.
Material corrections are appended to the relevant article with a dated note. The record is not silently revised.

permissions[at]artwalkway.com
Please include:
- article title and URL

- requested correction or clarification
- factual basis for review
- supporting evidence or source material
- your name, role and relationship to the matter
Why do correction requests go to permissions[at]artwalkway.com?
The address handles corrections, attribution, rights and permissions because these matters often involve the integrity of the published record.
Correction requests are reviewed as factual and editorial accountability matters, not as licensing requests.
What counts as a correction?
Corrections concern factual errors that materially affect meaning, attribution, chronology, identity, quotation, data or context.
What is a clarification?
A clarification may be added where wording is accurate but incomplete, ambiguous or open to misreading.
Clarifications preserve the record while improving context.
Can I ask ART Walkway to remove criticism?
Correction requests are reviewed as matters of factual accuracy.
Requests intended to suppress criticism, alter interpretation, remove accurate reporting or reshape editorial judgment are not treated as factual corrections.
Do you remove published articles?
As a rule, no.
ART Walkway treats the archive as a public cultural record. Where warranted, corrections, clarifications or contextual notes may be appended.
Removal is considered only in exceptional circumstances involving legal, ethical or safety concerns.
Why does ART Walkway preserve older articles?
ART Walkway treats the archive as part of the cultural record.
Published work remains available so that cultural developments, interpretations, corrections and institutional histories can be understood over time.
Can sources or institutions approve drafts?
No.
Institutions, galleries, artists, funders, collectors, patrons, partners and contributors do not receive approval rights over editorial work unless a correction of fact is required.
ART Walkway may verify specific facts, quotations or context where appropriate, but editorial interpretation remains independent.
Editorial independence

No.
ART Walkway does not sell editorial coverage, sponsored editorial, paid reviews, promotional interviews, visibility packages, advertorials, paid editorial newsletter placement or media partnership benefits tied to editorial treatment.

Those routes do not create coverage, endorsement, promotional treatment or editorial influence.
Can I pay to be included in an ART Walkway newsletter?
No.

Yes, where there is editorial reason to do so.
