A Few New Points of View
Artweek.LA is pleased to welcome two seasoned bloggers, Jane Chafin and Tracey Harnish, who each week will share their thoughts and insights on the L.A. art scene.
Oscar Wilde wrote, "Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital." And so in keeping with our goal of providing a comprehensive resource which reflects the true nature of our sprawling art scene, Artweek.LA is pleased to announce the addition of two bloggers who really know their way around the Los Angeles art scene: Jane Chafin and Tracey Harnish.
Jane Chafin
Jane Chafin is currently director of Offramp Gallery, which exhibits contemporary art in an historic house in Pasadena, CA. Jane was a painter and worked as registrar for the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. She put her painting aside and moved to New York, where she pursued a career in journalism. There she was editorial director of CultureFinder.com and did some freelance writing for the LA Times, the BookReporter.com and the New Yorker Magazine's marketing department. She moved back to the Los Angeles area and opened Offramp Gallery in September 2008. Many know Jane for the weekly blog she writes for the Huffington Post.
Tracey Harnish
A native Angelino, Tracey attended Otis College of Art and Design. In addition to writing about art for the Huffington Post and CultureMob.com, she blogs about the LA art scene on her blog, LAArtDiary.com. Tracey is also an artist whose work has been shown in various group shows. She was recently awarded First Prize at LBA's California Open exhibition. Tracey's business, ArtWhiz.biz, helps artists with individual artist promotion.
Jane and Tracey will share their unique perspectives each week which you can access under the Blogs menu.
