Over the last 13 years, Artblog has poured its heart out covering the arts in Philadelphia and elsewhere. Our mission has always been to cover those whose voices for the most part have been omitted from the discussion – women and all minorities. Our mission is more important now than ever before, when marginalized people are threatened or dismissed as irrelevant. Our pledge to you, our readers, is to bring you important voices in the community and elevate discussion about why art matters to all of us.
