Description:

Art Practical was founded in 2009 as an online arts publication based in San Francisco. In 2020, Art Practical described itself as a visual arts publishing organization that was people-forward and equitable. The organization published with passion, rigor, and integrity through initiatives that included online arts discourse, podcasts, books, educational programs, and public events. As a platform, Art Practical embraced these many forms to connect diverse regional voices and amplify underrepresented perspectives from the Bay Area and broader West Coast. Art Practical was founded by Patricia Maloney, who served as its director through 2016. Michele Carlson was director from 2016–2019. Christina Linden took up the directorship in the fall of 2019. The content published by Art Practical and Daily Serving, a sister publication that was published by Art Practical from 2013 through 2017 (when the two merged) represents hundreds of artists, galleries, arts institutions, and projects in the voices of over 450 writers and contributors. From 2014 to 2020, Art Practical was published through California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco.
