Taking a closer at Digg, I noticed that they have no catagories for the visual or performing arts, books, literature, or craft. The catagories under entertainment are: celebrity, movies, music and television. Why are they so impoverished?

Artlook: Canberra’s arts monthly revamped
Nice to see the first issue of Artlook, Canberra’s snazzy new free arts monthly, out in theatres and cafes. Artlook takes over from Muse, featuring interviews, reviews, and a calendar of gigs and exhibitions, all now in a glossy magazine format. It also has a full online version of the current issue. I wonder if the online will eventually take over from the print version?
‘Offering assistance to the obsessed’
Thats the attractive by-line on a flyer I just received from Auspicious Arts Projects Inc, based in Melbourne. The assistance comes in the form of ‘financial management and advice for small arts companies and arts projects, including qualified financial management for unincorporated associations, individual artists and arts projects, allowing artists to manage their projects effectively and efficiently without losing money’. It will be interesting to see how their ‘funky new site’ shapes up in a few weeks time.
