Sketchure works with the wider art and design community through professional exchange, media relations and carefully considered partnerships.
Who the programme is for
The Trade Program is intended for artists, designers, architects, studios, galleries, museums, cultural organisations, makers, manufacturers, showrooms and representatives whose work is relevant to Sketchure’s readers. It provides a clear point of contact for professional enquiries and potential collaborations.
Ways to work with Sketchure
- Press and editorial liaison: share project information, press previews, exhibition dates, image updates and verified credits for editorial consideration.
- Professional information: request clarification about a story, image credit or published project, or provide technical and material details that help us keep our coverage accurate.
- Partnership proposals: discuss advertising, sponsorship, events or other commercial collaborations that align with the magazine’s subject matter and readers. For events seeking additional visibility, we offer flexible advertising options at accessible rates, tailored to each event’s scale, audience and schedule.
- Institutional and trade dialogue: propose a briefing, studio visit, conversation or exchange with a gallery, museum, design practice, manufacturer or professional group.
Editorial independence
Professional access does not guarantee editorial coverage. Editorial selection remains the responsibility of the editors and is based on the subject, its relevance, the available information and the strength of the story. Advertising, sponsorship or other commercial activity is considered separately and will be identified clearly where it appears. No payment or product offer secures an independent editorial feature.
What to include in an enquiry
Please tell us who you represent, your role and organisation, the type of enquiry, the project or product involved, its location and timing, and what you would like to discuss. For a partnership proposal, include the intended audience, proposed format, schedule and any available budget range. Attach a concise introduction and links to relevant material rather than sending large files by email.
How we respond
We review trade and partnership enquiries individually. If an idea appears relevant, the team will follow up to discuss scope, availability, responsibilities, fees and any rights or disclosure requirements. No arrangement is binding until its details have been agreed in writing. We cannot promise a response to every unsolicited proposal.
