As the on-line baseball art community has grown over the past six months, it has attracted attention from people and organizations from all across the United States and beyond. Peter Barossi’s “The Westchester Project” was the first to highlight the baseball art community we’ve been building on this website and its accompanying Facebook page. Barossi’s beautifully produced video helped accelerate the growth of the Facebook community, and called more attention to the website. Soon after, we were noticed by MLB.com. Barry Wittenstein wrote an excellent article about the community which featured artwork from many of the world’s best baseball artists.
The latest article about the Baseball Art community — written by journalist Chris Serico — appeared in today’s Journal News and on Lohud.com.
In the article, Serico mentions numerous baseball artists, BaseballArt.com’s plans to commission a painting of Yankees great Thurman Munson, and the goal of turning BaseballArt.com into a place of commerce. Serico also writes about how the BaseballArt.com domain was acquired a decade ago, and other interesting facts about the fast-growing baseball art community.
