Artcritical website redesign campaign launched with Eric Firestone benefit show

On December 21, 2017, artcritical.com announced a holiday party and benefit exhibition to support its website redesign campaign. The event featured a show organized by Eric Firestone Gallery, with proceeds directed toward artcritical's platform modernization efforts. The announcement was posted on January 8, 2018, at 7:07 AM, indicating the campaign's ongoing nature. Artcritical operates using WordPress as its content management system, and the publication maintains an RSS 2.0 feed for content distribution. The benefit exhibition served as both a fundraising initiative and a social gathering for the artcritical community. No specific artists or artworks were detailed in the announcement, focusing instead on the institutional campaign and gallery partnership. The event represented a strategic effort to secure financial support for digital infrastructure improvements. Artcritical's redesign campaign aimed to enhance its online presence and functionality through this curated benefit show.
