Art21 Blog
Visit the Art21 art blog.
Art21 is a nonprofit organization that seeks to promote contemporary art on a global scale. Their art blog features contemporary art news, reviews, and opinion pieces. Videos from the Art21 PBS series are also included.
One of the features we love is the topic-specific guest blogging, where guests write on reoccurring topics like ‘how can art effect political change?’ This approach is an effective way of introducing readers to new writers and perspectives.
The Art21 art blog does a great job of putting people in touch with the richness of the North American contemporary art scene. If you have not already done so, we recommend that you check out the Art21 blog.
