Art Connect
Many thanks to William Emm and staff at Art Connect for
his (their) kind words.
"MacDonald uses a variety of media (including some great videos), seemingly uses a scattergun editorial approach, covers a range of subjects, and somehow ends-up presenting a cohesive overall viewpoint."
Online galleries Exemplars Art Gallery and Loveart have just launched with the aim to get more people involved with art.
The sites provide art buyers with an effective place to easily view and purchase art as well as information about established and emerging artists and galleries, thereby, accessible for both the artist and the art lover.
One of their features, Art Connect promotes awareness of the world’s best art commentators by highlighting art bloggers who they feel contribute something valuable to the art world.
