Book your flight, we're meeting in Miami

Art Bloggers@ has been invited to organize a panel discussion at Art Miami in December. We're calling the panel "Beyond Basic Blogging: Carving Our Niche in the Blogosphere," and we hope to discuss developments in art blogging from the past year.  Click here for more details.

Six panelists—Sharon Butler, Roberta Fallon, Thomas Hollingworth,  Paddy Johnson, Libby Rosof and Hrag Vartanian will talk about blogs—their own and others’—which have built a following by filling a specific need or point of view. Joanne Mattera will moderate. Audience participation in the discussion is encouraged.

Date: Saturday, December 5, 11:00 to 2:00. The panel will take place from 11:30 to 1:00, with time afterward for art bloggers to continue the discussion in smaller groups.
Location: To be announced. Art Miami is in Wynwood, next to Scope , across the street from Photo Miami, just down the street from Red Dot. Back in the day it was the only fair in town. Then Art Basel arrived. Hope to see you there.

Blogger Panel Discussion planned at Red Dot Fair

Art Bloggers @ Red Dot, Sunday, March 30
10:30 to 12:15
Joanne Mattera and I have organized a panel discussion which will soon be included in the Red Dot programming schedule. If the bloggers who join us are anything like their keyboard personas, an interesting discussion should ensue.

Panel Topic: Bloggers and Their Impact in the Art World
There's now more art coverage in the blogosphere than in conventional publications. Do we handle this responsibility with conventional journalistic standards or something that's faster and looser as befits an instantaneous medium? How do we manage the formidable network that has developed around and because of us? Where do we go from here?

Panelists:
• Edward Winkleman
• Carol Diehl, Art Vent
• C-Monster (Who is she?)
• Paddy Johnson, Art Fag City
• Me (Sharon Butler), Two Coats of Paint
Joanne Mattera will moderate.
