Hi Heather. Check out my libguide for a variety of pathways. http://libguides.colby.edu/art-contemporary Margaret D.

The prof and I decided that we would focus on how they should go about finding local, regional (east coast), national, and international artists. So, what are your favorite resources and strategies for you and your students for discovering new artists? While I have my own (i.e. Hyperallergic, Baltimore's City Paper, word of mouth) I wanted to get a broad perspective. Thank you!
