Addressing and identifying the different arts sub-communities in the city
Cross-pollination—how blogs are creating a space where people in the same city interact who might never do so in real life
Bloggers’/writers’ role in documenting the local art scene
Blogs as artistic infrastructure
Accessibility issues – are there barriers to participation in these conversations?
