About
Launched in 2010 by writer and curator Christopher Jobson, Colossal is one of the largest visual art, design, and culture blogs on the web. We pride ourselves in celebrating the work of both established and emerging artists across a vast field of creative endeavors, featuring 5,000+ articles on fine art, crafts, design, animation, photography, street art, illustration, and architecture. We also explore the beauty of the natural world at the intersection of art and science.
Over the last seven years we’ve been honored with accolades by The National Endowment for the Arts, TED, and PBS Art21. Colossal won the UTNE Media Award for Arts Coverage in 2013, and was nominated for a Webby.

- Key DifferentiatorFounded in 2010, Colossal explores numerous aspects of visual culture including contemporary art, design, illustration, craft, street art, science, and animation. The website has inspired artists, curators, and creators from around the world and is used in classrooms from grade school through university to highlight fresh and unconventional approaches to creativity. The National Endowment for the Arts calls the site a “must read,” and PBS’ Art:21 said it “brings recognition to under-represented (or even unrepresented) artists.” TED cites the blog as one of “100 Websites You Should Know and Use,” and Christie’s calls it “nothing short of a must-visit.” We currently reach 2-3 million visitors monthly. An additional 100,000 subscribe via RSS and over 1.5 million people follow on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. Colossal has a variety of advertising options available including banner advertising and weekly sponsored posts. If you’re interested, please contact Nectar Ads.
