What is The High Low?

The High Low is a free weekly newsletter that provides curated culture for people who have great taste but not enough time to look at everything themselves. We are chronically online, plugged in, and sifting through everything so you don’t have to.

Each edition highlights the sharpest stories from both high culture and low culture — because they’re not opposites; they’re just two sides of the same wonderfully weird coin. Cultured and unsophisticated are the yin and yang within all of us. None of us are just one thing. We contain multitudes. We all have two brows. One is high, the other is low.

Think of us as your cultured confidante who secretly loves messy reality TV. Your creative friend who’ll cross the ocean for an Ai Weiwei retrospective — and still camp out for Countess Luann’s cabaret.
