I'd recommend ArtSlant (http://www.artslant.com/). You can narrow down to a specific city or look at worldwide listings. They have an artists A-Z list too.

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!
