As the internet has grown, it has become a powerful force for promotion, expansion and experimentation in the creative arts. Music through i-Tunes, film from YouTube and Phil Collins from a drum playing gorilla, have all seen huge leaps forward in consumer interaction and accessibility through the internet.

murmurART seeks to be a platform for the best emerging artists to display their work in a dedicated online gallery thus making them available for discussion, debate and ultimately sale. Whilst art exhibition is sorely under-developed online, what has emerged and what helps keep us excited and engaged in the visual arts, is the great swathes of blogs and commentaries that are helping to engage, discover and spread emerging art and design.

Finding your favourite blogs in the great mass of information out there can be somewhat daunting. We started from a fantastic list of the 8 Must Read Art Blogs for 2008 compiled by Dan at emptyeasel.com. Inspired by his example, murmurART has set about compiling are own list of our favourite 8 of '08.

1.New Art

A great collection of stimulating new discoveries in all aspects of the visual arts. Things you'd never find on your own but then can't imagine why you didn't know about them all along - just what the internet was made for.

2.Art Review Blog

Art Review is a great publication for all things creative and their blog site provides a fantastic opportunity to experience some of the best and most interesting writing online.

3.Dear Ada

Dear Ada covers such a broad array of disciplines, from the botanical to the street and coupled with a superb links section, keeps us coming back regularly.

4.Better Living Through Art

Ever thought art doesn't have an affect on pretty much everything? Then take a look at Anuradha's consistently engaging and provoking thoughts on art and life.

5.All The Time Art

Part of CapucinesBlvd.com, this art blog is a great resource for anyone interested in buying art. You'll find frequent updates about the prospect of art as an investment and how you can get started as a collector.

6.The Guardian Art&Design Blog

The sad demise of The Guardian Art & Architecture blog should not be a reason to leave this site. Jonathan Jones provides brilliant insights into the art world in a new streamlined site. Constantly entertaining and insightful, The Guardian is one of the first stops for cutting edge arts journalism.

7.Art News Blog

I have to agree with Dan on the inclusion of Art News Blog in any Arts Blog list. Regularly updated and covering a wide range of topics, Art News is always on the money when it comes to what's happening in the arts world.
