Henry Art Gallery Blog
Visit the Henry Art Gallery Blog.
This art blog represents the co-operative effort of contributions from the Henry Art Gallery staff members, members of Seattle’s art community, and artists.
The Henry Art Gallery, established in 1927, is in the University of Washington. It helps promote art through exhibitions, educational programs, and public involvement programs. It also looks for ways to help artists create innovative art.
One reason why this art blog stands out for us is its community-oriented production values. As a reader, you feel that you are reading something produced by a group of people who fundamentally share the same values. The efforts made to engage with readers work to accentuate this feeling.
We also appreciate the good use of technology, such as videos, podcasts, and Flickr-hosted photographs. This approach works well for a site that delivers news and reviews on exhibitions, programs, and events. It should also ensure that the site appeals to younger audiences.
We guess that Henry Art Gallery set out to produce an art blog that would engage those in its community, and be appealing to a wide audience. We commend them on a job well done.
