In the effort to keep artists, art patrons and others informed and up to date we have established and maintain a new blog for you, named after our quarterly publication, ArtSpace.

The ArtSpace blog reports on everything going on in the art world, from call to artist and gallery openings in the area (focused on Orange County, but includes the region as well), to grant application information from our Community Grants to other agencies and organization grant opportunities, as well as political information on the state and local level that deals with the arts.  

We have also started a fun Artist Interviews to area artists to give you the opportunity to learn a bit more about the person behind the art.

Take a look, leave a comment, start a conversation, bookmark the blog and even subscribe to keep yourself up to date on arts in Orange County.
