I'm a college student and my school doesnt have a very big art department. I used to take art classes but I dont have any this semester. I really love art and I need a resource(preferably a website) that lets me in on whats going on in the art world. I wanted to get a subscription to ARTnews, but I cant afford it right now. I am past magazine websites and some museum websites dont really help. Also, library access is kinda difficult. Anyone know any good websites or tips?

Hey, I don't want to insult your spirit as an artist, but are you talking about what's "selling" in the art world right now? I'm a professional artist and if you want to know what is SELLING go to the library and look at the magazines like Architectural Digest, Veranda, Colonial Homes, Southern Living, Decor, etc. It's crass, it's selling out, but if you want to make a living at what you love best - making art - you'd better do what the Renaissance masters did - and find out what the rich folks are buying.

There are some books you can check out I know. I find Art magazine gives a lot.
If all else fails, wikipedia.

I posted some links for you to get you started. You didn't say what kind of art you like to follow--or maybe you're openminded about it--so these are general contemporary art resources.
