The Art&Seek blog is creating an online community through discussion of arts events, new works and developments in the cultural world. We focus on what’s happening in North Texas (including Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton, Tyler, Sherman and Wichita Falls). But the blog is also a gateway to art analysis, conversation and exploration across the Internet. Join us!

Our regular contributors include Jerome Weeks, KERA’s arts producer/reporter and other KERA staff; journalist and filmmaker Manny Mendoza, and classical music critic Olin Chism.

We also invite guest bloggers – artists, arts professionals and educators – to join us and help start conversations about the arts in North Texas.
A few examples:
Charles Santos, Executive Director of TITAS
Gail Sachson, art advocate and Vice President, Dallas Cultural Affairs Commission
Sarah Jane Semrad, Executive Director of La Reunion
Lydia Regalado, arts educator, blogger, and fan of skirts
Matthew Bourbon, artist and professor
