Collaborations and Resources
I follow a number of art blogs (many are listed below) and filter for Bay Area relevance. You can find and subscribe to a feed of my shared Google Reader items here.
Collaborations
A contemporary art network featuring a calendar of shows and openings in several major cities and community profiles of artists and more. As an Artslant Keeper, I post some of my content as reviews, etc. My profile is here.
Art consultant and appraiser, Alan Bamberger, also covers the Bay Area gallery scene. I occasionally contribute some photos and a brief review of shows for his San Francisco Openings section.
An aggregator of Bay Area art events, Happenstand also monitors local arts news feeds, including Arteaser, in it's Pulse section.
