Bloggers and Their Impact on the Art World.
There's now more art coverage in the blogosphere than in conventional publications.

Panalists: Lance Esplund, senior art critic, The New York Sun; Laurie Fendrich, painter, critic, Professor of Painting at Hofstra University; Nancy Grimes, critic and Associate Professor of Painting at Pratt Institute; David Carbone, critic, Associate Professor of Painting and
