History
ArtDaily was born when its editor, Ignacio Villarreal, took his passion for art and decided to showcase the art world through what was then an unconventional, new media - the Internet in 1996. Villarreal is one of Mexico's premiere graphic designers, art book editors and advertising creatives. Since the mid-1980s, Villarreal published an arts magazine titled Espacio. Following this magazine, he introduced another publication, titled Museums.
The resounding success of the Internet experiment motivated Villarreal to focus all art magazine activities exclusively online, merging this into ArtDaily, which became the first art newspaper on the net. The Huffington Post?s HuffPost Art & Culture section cites ArtDaily as one of their linked sources.
