ArtsRush has been on the web since 1997, starting out as a South Coast NSW arts magazine, eventually evolving to cover art from all across this blue planet. Arising from her passion for all things creative, editor, Colleen Duncan, established the site as ‘Rush – online arts’ to add to the voice of South Coast arts.
