A busy week as galleries hustle back to New York from the art fairs. Spencer Sweeney returns for another show at Gavin Brown's on Wednesday, and Thursday has many events including several non-profit spaces open late in SOHO.

I am working remotely today from LA after visiting SF for the Future of the Forum conference at UC Berkeley. Meeting luminaries like the CEO of Craigslist, the Founder of Wikipedia, and the COO of Twitter shed new light on my vision for Artcards and hopefully will direct us on a path towards an enduring service that serves you better. Thanks to Emma Spertus's work on Artcards in the SF Bay Area, I was able to use Artcards San Francisco to explore a new art scene with surprising ease. As Artcards expands to new cities, hopefully it will be useful for your travels as well.

Look forward to seeing you in NYC again at these great events...
