AOL Artists

We commission, curate, coax and encourage talented artists worldwide to create original works of art for AOL and, in turn, the world.

"Art isn’t easy." - Stephen Sondheim

So we created a platform to help original works of art get made. And seen.

Rob Andrews is an artist living in Bay Ridge, with a studio in  in Sunset Park.  He’s one of my favorite emerging artists, and he’s been a friend for long over ten years.  He’s crossed boundaries with performance art; he’s made gorgeous photos; and he’s made me cry with his storytelling.  He’s made more art than anyone I know.

A very happy Valentines Day from beloved AOL Artist Megan Whitmarsh! 

Andrew Kuo is a genius.  Just do a google image search and be blown away by his use of color and text.    Next, go to his NY Times blog at ArtsBeat, and you’ll see how clever, intriguing & thoughtful his charts are.   He’s a mashup of Edward Tufte and Robert Christgau, with just a dash of Marcel Duchamp.  Finally, check out his Instagram “earlboykins” and really scratch your head!
