Art-LA / New Art Blog for 2008

Welcome to "Art - LA" our new art blog about Los Angeles art galleries and museums, as well as other news about the LA art scene. The blogs will include local art news, reviews (we're looking for reviewers), press releases and artwork.

In addition to our new blog we've updated and rearranged the Los Angeles Gallery Guide to include Los Angeles County galleries. Culver City, Santa Monica and Bergamot Station galleries are located on separate gallery guide pages.

We've also, rearranged the San Francisco Gallery Guide so that it's easier to locate galleries.

In the next few days, we'll be adding blogs to the Culver City Gallery Guide, a combined art blog for Santa Monica and Bergamot Station Gallery Guides.

If you'd like to share interesting art news or stories, please contact us via email at art-support@att.net. Also, add us to your press release mailing list if you have a gallery or art business.

Thanks for looking, check back soon and help spread the word about our new "Art-LA" blog.
