ST.ART Editorial Policy
1. Mission, Vision, and Audience
- Our Mission
ST.ART exists so that contemporary art ceases to be a “territory for the elect” and becomes accessible to anyone willing to engage in dialogue with it. We do not limit ourselves to informing: our goal is to build a deep emotional and intellectual connection between the artist and the viewer, awakening imagination, curiosity, and the desire to see broader.
- Our Vision
We strive to be a meeting point for everyone who lives for art: artists and curators, collectors and students, critics and viewers seeking inspiration. ST.ART is a digital platform, a cultural mediator, and a community that brings together diverse voices in a unified conversation about the present through art.
- Our Audience
We address those who look closer, who are ready to ask questions and doubt. From art history students to experienced art market players — from people discovering performance art for the first time to collectors searching for new names. We are united by curiosity and the desire to see in art a reflection of our time.
2. Principles and Values
- Accessibility and Clarity
We write about complex ideas in simple language, maintaining depth and avoiding snobbery.
- Openness and Diversity
We treat street art and museum collections, media art and painting, prominent names and emerging artists with equal attention.
- Expertise
Our texts are grounded in facts and research, while always striving for a lively and engaging conversation.
- Independence
No advertiser or partner influences the content of our editorial materials. We preserve freedom of evaluation and the right to critique.
- Ethics and Respect
We strictly observe copyright, cite sources, and respect our subjects, interviewees, and readers.
3. Genres and Content Standards
ST.ART is a multi-voiced platform where various formats coexist:
- Analytics and research that present context;
- Criticism — reviews and observations;
- Interviews with artists, curators, collectors;
- News and event announcements;
- Authorial essays and columns.
We pay special attention to the visual component. Every image is a standalone narrative. Image quality, color accuracy, and proper framing are an integral part of every publication.
Texts undergo editing and proofreading: we care about the clarity and integrity of the platform’s voice.
4. How We Work with Content
- Topics originate at editorial meetings, but always remain open to external impulses.
- Fact-checking is a mandatory stage of preparation: names, dates, and quotes are verified.
- Every material passes through several levels of editing to maintain style and accuracy.
- We collaborate with guest authors and experts, but the final word rests with the ST.ART team, which is responsible for a consistent tone and quality.
5. Advertising and Partnerships
- Transparency: Commercial content is marked with an “Advertising” tag.
- Alignment with Values: We collaborate only with those who share our respect for culture and aesthetics.
- Independence: Partners do not influence editorial content.
6. Responsibility
We bear responsibility to our audience for the reliability and honesty of our content. Mistakes are inevitable, but we are obligated to acknowledge and correct them openly. If you find an error in our materials, please write to us at: magazine.saint.art@gmail.com
7. Who We Are
ST.ART is not just a platform. Founded in 2020 as a platform about contemporary art, it expanded beyond the print format (up to 2024) and became digital media, as well as an initiator of exhibitions, discussions, and cultural events.
We are united by a team of professionals for whom art is a way of thinking about the world and talking about the present. We create content, projects, and collaborations that inspire — empowering every viewer to feel like a part of the art scene.
