Building the blogroll: Great Lakes

Looking for art blogs in Ohio, Michigan, upstate New York, Toronto, Wisconsin and western Pennsylvania. (Yes, it's a bad geographical construct. I'll change it if there are enough blogs in any particular place.) Please leave them in the comments.

I agree with the above comments recommending that you consider adding View on Canadian Art to your blogroll. VoCA's focus is national, not just Toronto-centric. Andrea's blog also directs readers to interesting arts coverage around the world, often discussing international arts issues that will have future influence on Canada's arts industries. Thought-provoking and fun; a good mix for any blog.

...I especially like VoCA's regular feature dedicated to showcasing underrated Canadian artists.

I'd like to put my vote in for View on Canadian Art (VoCA) as well: http://www.viewoncanadianart.com/

I think it's a really insightful blog which has a great national reach - and Andrea's a great person with a lot of insight into the contemporary Canadian visual art scene!

Hi there,

http://www.spacing.ca/wire is a civic-oriented Toronto blog. Sometimes myself and others post there about arts access issues and public art.

I also post links to my weekly print articles on art at
http://neditpasmoncoeur.blogspot.com/

I agree with all the suggestions above and would add the occasional blog posts at
http://www.akimbo.biz
as well... they mostly have an eflux type thing going on but blog as well from all over Canada.


My blog View on Canadian Art - from Toronto but covering the whole Canadian art scene:

http://www.viewoncanadianart.com

I just came across the Mattress Factory (Pittsburgh contemporary art museum) blog:

Western Pennsylvania? That includes Pittsburgh, right?

Digging Pitt

I contribute to the Chicago art blog and podcast Bad At Sports, www.badatsports.com.

Some thoughts for (from) Toronto:

www.viewoncanadianart.com
www.digitalmediatree.com/sallymckay/
www.artfag.ca (less blog than zine, but worth a visit)

I am a critic/editor for artcritical.com and I live in upstate New York in the middle of Adirondack State Park. I am six hours away from NYC and two hours away from Montreal. My blog is called "Bibliography and Hypocrisy". I mostly write about the art world and occasionally post comics that I draw and which also focus on the art world.

Geography jogs south of Lake Michigan, but I am an arts sponsorship and marketing blogger in Chicago.
