Organizer Artblog
Organizer of Art and Social Responsibility, with Ken Lum and Karyn Olivier
Artblog is an independent online arts publication that fosters dialog and community through commentary and discussion about art and culture. We raise the profile of marginalized artists—the young, minorities and women—who have been left out of the conversation. We do all this through out online publication and with programs in the community. We believe the discussion of art, centered on beauty, truth, value and power, makes the world a better place. Artblog is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. More at theartblog.org.
