Editorial priorities and the people who make them happen.

Our editorial priorities are:

• To provide a platform for research into the key issues for artists and their practice that stimulates and focuses discussions around future support frameworks and expectations for artists.
• To examine and analyse the 'why, what and how' of artist's practice, with an emphasis on artist-led activity and diversity of practice across the UK.
• To stimulate critical discourse and provide opportunities for new writers through the development of 'unedited' facilities on www.a-n.co.uk
• To maintain a portfolio of timely good practice materials.

Over the past few years we've been collaborating with expert commissioning and guest editors across the UK and beyond. Recent guest editors include:

• Frances Lord, curator and consultant, South East England (a-n Collections: Artists' profiles 2)
