Big Red & Shiny is coming back and is using Kickstarter to raise funds to create "a bigger and bolder Blog devoted to New England art & artists and a monthly web-based Journal with perceptive and incisive writing from around the globe." With art/music/dance in the South End on Sept. 29 and panel discussions on art writing and community at MIT on Oct. 27.

wow, kickstarter funding a blog
That's a new low for both blogging and kickstarter.
You get what you pay for
This is a Journal, not a "blog."
What's the difference? A blog is free and open to anyone with a computer & internet connection.
A journal requires specialized knowledge, editorial expertise, organization/planning, and an enormous time commitment (e.g. like a staff.) Also this is a very under-served area in Boston and it will be an invaluable resource to the local arts, culture, and creative economy. Real value is not free.
(And no, I'm not at all associated with Big Red but I've missed them and eager to see a return.)
