WANTED: Art, Architecture and Movie Critics

Are YOU one of the writers who should be reviewing the Cape art scene?
If so, cc2day is looking for people to write regular columns here

rt, film and architecture criticism was once a regular feature in American newspapers. But that was before the internet paradigm shift which is wiping out many print media and causing the massive layoffs in the newspaper industry.

Above is cctoday blogger Solon Economou as an extra with Julie Harris during the filming of "Chatham" playing this week at the Cape Cod Cinema in Dennis.One of the first things the bean-counters cut is anything to do with art.

But the web is a different and friendlier world where space is never a concern, and everything is shown in full color to many times the number of readers than ever read your local newspaper.

Last month nearly a million unique visitors came to capecodtoday.  They could have been offered your criticism on art, architecture or film.

We have over 150 other local writers sharing their thoughts with our readers on every subject under the sun, but these areas of the art scene are not yet covered.

If you'd like to be our regular reviewer for any of these areas, please email me with a little about you. Remember, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, so why shouldn't you be the one to tell our world what you think about the subject.

Home styles, gallery openings, latest movies

We already have an Art Calendar which could be expanded, or we will set up a new one specifically for gallery openings.  We'd welcome any others who would like to comment on the styles of the new homes being built here, with perhaps occasional primers on architecture in general and Cape Cod architecture specifically.

And while we're at it, why not a regular column about the movies which open here with your opinions along with others like rottentomatoes.com.

Interested? Email me.
