about
In 2003, Roberta Fallon and Libby Rosof launched the artblog with a mission to share their intimate knowledge of Philadelphia's cutting edge art, and to educate and support a community of artists, art lovers, gallerists, critics and academics. The artblogrecognized for excellence twice by Art in America and a finalist for the prized Warhol/Creative Capital Arts Writers grant -- now is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that offers a menu of educational services in addition to its flagship online magazine. We provide lectures about contemporary art, instruction in critical writing for emerging writers, mentoring and career development for art students, and the award-winning artblog Art Safaris, guided tours of Philadelphia's excellent alternative art scene.
Working as a team of writers and support staff, the artblog today is a multidimensional educational laboratory and online archive generating ideas to connect the public with art. A 2012 Knight Arts Challenge grant winner, the artblog partners with WHYY's Newsworks.org, Philly.com and many local arts organizations to share content and information. Also in 2012, Libby and Roberta were selected to be PA Commonwealth Speakers, for which they speak about art at public libraries and community centers. They also lecture and teach at universities; they curate, jury and evangelize for art and artists. Through their work with students and emerging writers, they are mentoring the next generation of arts entrepreneurs and cultural journalists.
