Art Blart is a mainly photography based art and cultural memory archive that started in November 2009. The website has become a form of cultural memory, to record the passing of many photography exhibitions, to make comment on them and to archive the postings for future reference and research.
The website posts excellent quality images from all the major galleries around the world. The website has a readership of 1,500 people a day with over 5,000 Likes on Facebook. The website itself is being archived by Pandora from the National Library of Australia.

I grew up on a farm for the first thirteen years of my life. I played in the fields and forests of England, and wandered the cart paths with my brother. I saw him for the first time in thirty years last August, after the passing of my father. We went back and walked those very same paths where we grew up and looked at the magnificent trees planted along the edge of the…
