Join The Art History Newsletter

(FYI: This post will remain atop the site for a week. New posts will appear directly underneath.)

Now — for a short time only! — this is your opportunity to join the family of Art History Newsletter contributors.

The Art History Newsletter, until now essentially a one-man operation, will soon become a group blog. Such blogs seem well suited to academe (see for example this one.) Contributors contribute at their leisure. Individual posts are signed by their authors. Freedom is given to contributors to post information, to express opinions, or to do both.

For over four years, The Art History Newsletter has endeavored to synopsize news and opinion of interest to art historians and to provide original reporting on conferences, lectures, and other special events. It seems fair to say that it is now the preeminent site of its kind (setting aside the website of the College Art Association itself). It typically receives over a thousand visitors a day, and judging from the email we’ve received, it is read by many of the field’s most prominent scholars.
