    • Изобразительные искусства

In this episode of the Short Fuse, host Elizabeth Howard and Editor-in-Chief and founder of the Arts Fuse, Bill Marx discuss the vital role arts commentary and criticism play in nurturing an open and democratic society. Bill Marx founded the Arts Fuse in 2007 as a reaction to the precipitous decline of commentary on the arts in newspapers, However the continual whittling down of independent arts coverage over the past three decades has been passed over in silence. The goal of the Arts Fuse is to treat the arts seriously, to write about them in the same way that other publications cover politics, sports, and business — with professionalism, thoughtfulness, and considerable attitude. The journal's motto, from Jonathan Swift, sums up our editorial stance: “Use the point of your pen … not the feather.”
