So much of today’s art world lives online: artist portfolios, digital exhibits, & indie galleries. But these sites can vanish overnight, & with them, the record of today’s creativity.

From experimental galleries in LA to glassblowers in Tacoma, the web we built is being preserved. Learn more at our blog ➡️ #communitywebs
