MEDIA KIT 2018

LIMELIGHT IS A UNIQUE PLATFORM DEDICATED TO AUSTRALIAN ARTS, FEATURING THE BEST NEWS, FEATURES AND REVIEWS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC, OPERA, THEATRE, DANCE AND

VISUAL ART FROM AT HOME AND ABROAD

For many years now Limelight has provided the resources for classical music and arts that Australians reach for when they want to know what’s happening and what’s good out there in the world. While other media have shrunk their arts coverage, Limelight has increased its coverage in classical music, opera, theatre, dance, visual art and related topics. Our readership knows that we only use the best journalists and cover the significant arts events and topics that they want to read about.

With substantial features every month, a busy, comprehensive reviews section – covering both recorded media and live events – and coverage of current affairs in the arts world, Limelight continues to engage and consolidate the arts audience. Passionate, enthusiastic, sometimes opinionated, but never dull, our mission is to inform, entertain and provoke debate.

There’s never been a better time to be in the Limelight.

– Clive Paget, Editor at Large
