We are pioneering a new business model for arts journalism — and we need your support.
The Arts Fuse began publishing in June 2007, and each year it has increased its editorial coverage of the arts and culture across Greater Boston and New England, posting in-depth criticism, previews, interviews, and commentary covering theater, music, dance, visual arts, and film. Proffering more than 6,000 articles, The Arts Fuse serves as the next generation platform for thousands of arts and culture consumers across Greater Boston and beyond. The magazine now draws more than 40, 000 unique visitors a month.
In reaction to the declining arts coverage in newspapers, magazines, radio, and television, Editor-in-Chief Bill Marx started The Arts Fuse as a non-profit organization that could experiment with professional online arts criticism, looking at new and innovative ways to use the online platforms to evolve the conversation and bring together critics, readers, and artists.
The Arts Fuse has now become home for more than 60 contributing writers, critics, and editors across New England and beyond. Many veterans who have written for The Boston Globe and other national publications as well as promising young reviewers.
We are pioneering a new business model for arts journalism. But we need your support: to maintain editorial quality, to assist our mentorship program of young critics, and to expand our readership. Our efforts are crucial to nurturing the kind of dialogue that bolsters a thriving artistic landscape, particularly in these trying times.
