Why Soulstrong Arts Blog was created:

As a Baltimore native and as someone who’s lived in the DC area for over 5 years, I’ve seen the impact that people can have on one another just by opening up their homes and streets to creativity. Experience open forums, in gallery exhibits, in impromptu theatre performances, late-night and early-morning discussions, street festivals, and the like. I’m exploring how news media and social networking tie into a growing artist’s life as I seek to promote both myself and the things I care about. Most art blogs seem to lack an intimate appeal: They need reviews, impressions, critiques, and the passions that drive people to have a journal. I would like Soulstrong Arts Blog to act as a community post, where everyday people recognize the power they have when they share stories and find passion in their lives.
