The Artistree covers music, film, art, books and the stage, and the money and policy that shape them. It is edited from Dubai and published by The Artistree.

We write from primary material: the work itself, the people who made it, box office and chart data, gallery and publisher statements, funding decisions and, where a story turns on them, filings and accounts. We do not rewrite other publications, and where a claim rests on a document we link to the document.

Some drafting is done with AI assistance. Nothing appears without a human editor reading it first, and a review carries one person's judgement rather than a consensus. Where we are wrong we would rather hear it than not: editor@theartistree.fm. Corrections are made openly and noted on the piece.

Opinions belong to whoever expressed them, including the people we quote. Links out are for checking our work, not endorsements. Nothing here is professional or financial advice, including the pieces about what art sells for.
