Arts criticism in crisis? A Polis special report and event

Tonight (Monday 3rd) Sir John Tusa is in conversation with Rosie Millard in a special Polis event at the London College of Communication. Email polis@lse.ac.uk to reserve a seat. “Few subjects agitate artists and promoters more than the critics writing in the print media.

To celebrate this event Polis has commissioned this special report from journalist Lara Farrar on the state of thinking about Arts Journalism
