The Brushbuzz Monthly Top 30 Art Blogs are selected by submissions and activity on the BruzzBuzz Site.

The rankings are updated approximately once a month.



These blogs and articles are promoted to artists in our various newsletters including FineArtViews, BrushBuzz Daily Top 10, InformedCollector, and inside the FASO private communication channel, totalling over 25,000 subscribers.

The ranking is determined by many factors including number of submissions, number of time an article is "Liked" on BrushBuzz, the recency of submissions and, other "secret sauce" (Hey even Google doesn't share all of their ranking factors!).

If you feel a blog should be ranked higher than it is, be sure to come participate on BrushBuzz and "vote" for your favorite articles by clicking "Like".

If you run an art blog and feel we're not aware of it, please contact us and let our editors know your URL - we'll add it to our watch list!
