Support art writers, independent art criticism, and ambitious artist commissions by bidding on artworks in the Art F City auction. In celebration of all the female art critics, artists, and writers who have been part of the blog over the years, Art F City will also be hosting a live auction to honor "Power Women." This year's event will take place on April 13 at Lightbox in New York City.

Your support will help one of the most important voices in art criticism, reporting, and activism rise to even greater levels. And what better way to honor this year’s theme, "Power Women", than by honoring one of the century’s most significant and influential artists, Laurie Anderson.
This auction makes possible Art F City artist essays, in-depth interviews and reviews, and daily news coverage. This is flagship AFC content, and it’s among the best art writing you’ll find anywhere on the web.

Art F City creates and archives critical discourse, and commissions ambitious artist projects. Through a daily mix of blunt criticism, commentary and community-minded journalism, they add an unparalleled dosage of purposeful opinion to the contemporary art community.
Art is without a public purpose if it is not tested and understood. To this end, Art F City provides a moderated public forum across comment threads, artist essays, and roundtable criticism. Their nine-year archives provide an extensive historical record of that discourse. By encouraging a critical and informed audience, their public initiatives fill a critical need for all creative makers.
Art must be interrogated.
