Libby and Roberta, co-founders of Artblog, write a fond farewell to the readers, listeners and supporters of their 21 year old review publication and its many projects. In the short summary of their story, they relate their art collaborations, which began in the early 1990s. Those collaborations segued into creating Artblog in the early aughts. Artblog launched in April, 2003, in response to the curtailing of arts coverage in newspapers and the mainstream media due to economic factors. "We saw our mission as reviewing shows, interviewing artists, doing gallery visits and generally creating dialog about – and an audience for – what was going on in Philadelphia," they say. Artblog was born digital, and the publication immediately had a global audience, and exported Philadelphia to the world, and the world back to Philadelphia. Thank you for reading Artblog!
