Based in NYC, Two Coats of Paint is produced by Sharon L. Butler. Questions, comments, and other inquiries may be sent to twocoatsofpaint@gmail.com

In 2007, I created Two Coats of Paint to share reviews, commentary, news, and background information about painting and related subjects. Two Coats has been sponsored by many organizations, including the Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum, the Pulitzer Foundation, the New York Studio School, and The Brooklyn Museum. The New York Times, New York Observer, NPR, PBS New Hour, The New Criterion, WNYC and other news organizations have all linked to posts on Two Coats of Paint. For links to articles I've published in other publications, other projects and presentations click here.

Sponsorships and advertising are available through the Nectar Ads Art Network, the first online advertising network devoted exclusively to the visual arts. Nectar Ads also represents the popular websites Hyperallergic, Colossal, Art Fag City, and Rhizome.
