The New England Journal of Aesthetic Research
Visit The New England Journal of Aesthetic Research art blog.
Entries on The New England Journal of Aesthetic Research revolve around the art scene in New England, and include exhibition previews and reviews, news, and interviews.
In between the more lengthy entries and the information providers down either side of the page, the author (Greg Cook) covers so much ground that you get the feeling that he must be aware of everything that goes on in the New England art scene. That surely cannot actually be the case, but (admittedly from internet-based searches from the UK) we could not see a missed beat.
In keeping with the extensive coverage provided in the entries themselves, the blog also incorporates at least eight additional information-providing resources, incorporated into the left- and right-hand-sidebars. Information provided in this way includes a mix of rolling news snippets, and extremely useful static links to other things that you should know about the art scene in New England.
If you live in New England, you will almost certainly already have this blog loaded-up in your RSS reader. For everyone else interested in finding out more about the New England art scene, we would recommend New England Journal of Aesthetic Research as your starting point.

Why we like it:
Although we really enjoyed Cook’s interviews, we offer this entry up as being an example of what we really love about the very best regionally focused art blogs.
About Greg Cook
Greg Cook apparently really does exist, and is an underground comic book artist.
In addition to the content Cook produces for this blog, he also compiles reviews for other websites, which he summarises and links to from the New England Journal of Aesthetic Research.
If you get a second, the invisible museum makes for a nice interlude to the main site.
