How We Report
Sources first. Government cultural agencies, arts councils, institutions and the artists themselves come before aggregators.
Fact, then analysis. We separate what is confirmed from what we interpret, and we say when sources disagree.
Honest images. Global Arts artwork is illustrative. It never stands in for a real, named person.
Dates on everything. Opportunities show when we last verified them, and expired calls are archived rather than hidden.
