About
Art Blogging London is the second city-specific art blog published by Bode Media Inc. and founded by Caryn Coleman. Its sister site, the popular art.blogging.la, was born out of the desire to discuss and promote the vital, growing, and expansive art scene in Los Angeles; coinciding with Coleman’s move to London for graduate school, Art Blogging London launches in August 2008 with this similar intention in mind.
