I know I read BCC, T&S, and FMH, in addition to a few smaller blogs. You can also check out our own personal blogs (links are on the sidebar). And there are Mormon artists out there: specifically there's some critical conversation going on at <a href="http://www.motleyvision.org/" rel="nofollow">A Motley Vision</a>, and there are several smaller artist blogs. However, there are a lot of things without blog coverage, like the New Play Project. They have a small producers' "blog," but it's rarely updated and doesn't act like a blog. And there are occasionally Mormon arts posts on the big blogs, like BCC, but not on any regular basis. Our idea is to create a dedicated community for such things, where we can talk and hear about cool Mormon artists frequently. I believe all of us are fairly active readers of the bloggernacle.

That seems like the place to make connections with artists in extra-Utah Mormondom. If so, I'm curious which blogs. I'm admittedly less active myself (sorry, couldn't help it), but my favorite is <a href="http://www.bycommonconsent.com/ " rel="nofollow">By Common Consent</a>. I also like <a href="http://vsom.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Various Stages of Mormondom</a>. I'm sure there are artists out there.

Thanks for the optimistic words. ;-) You're right that the Mormon experience must reach beyond Provo. We're very aware of that, and we hope to engage with that experience and with those artists. Our discussion will not be limited to what's going on in Provo, and eventually we hope to take on some bloggers who are not in Utah Valley. But we have to start some place. Cyril.

But I think that a renaissance with its origins in Provo is doomed from the beginning. You must reach beyond BYUP to find the Mormon experience which gives rise to a Mormon artistic genre with any sort of longevity. Good luck.
