Two weeks ago, Roberto Bedoya asked several arts bloggers, including me, to write a post reflecting on Whiteness and its implications for the arts.

The art of storytelling though, and documenting an event or a slice of time is, of course, not restricted to bound pages. I saw for myself that history was unfolding in front of me. Stories surround us on the radio, in newspapers, in our music boxes, in short web videos and on large screens in movie theatres. January 21.

Anyone briefly strolling through this park will likely hear the sound of a brass band and see local artists scattered along the sidewalk. At this intimate Frenchmen Street bar, catch one of two live music sets (at 6pm and 10pm) seven days a week, and don't forget to stop by the outdoor art market next door. The Audubon Zoo.

Tale #4: Most recently we had one alumnus promise us his art collection and then went to post an article online about how he strung us along – he actually posted our email exchanges online through a local newspaper where he was a freelancer…. Turns out he was wanted for being a scam artist. His return address was a NY prison.

So Wally came up with a tipsheet of sorts — a set of examples that an artist pressed for time could turn to in order not to reinvent the wheel. That’s okay. 22 EMAIL LEDES THAT ALWAYS WORK!!

They’re assets, like Pokémon cards and also like actually awesome digital art, that can be owned and traded—only they’re all digital. NFTs: The new fundraising frontier? .

Last month, I heard a talk by author Jonathan Salem Baskin about his soon to be published book, “ Histories of Social Media.&# The book looks at social media concepts and ideas, asks is this really new?
