Hello
This hello page is inspired by Alastair Johnston and provides information about best ways to reach out, and other places to find me.
Best ways to get in touch:
Email is the best way to reach me. My email is alison@alisonbergblomjohnson.com.
Please see frequently asked questions about how best to reach out and for what.
Phone
(651) 356-8230
If calling is the best way for you to reach me, please give me a call at 651-356-8230, where you can leave a message. This line is voicemail only and is provided to be more accessible for folks who prefer calling. You can also send text messages to this number.
If you are booking a Springboard for the Arts consultation and would like help filling out the consult request form via phone, please call Springboard directly at 651-292-4381 and ask for help signing up for a consult over the phone. If you happen to have my cell phone number please know that most unexpected calls go to voicemail. I check voicemail on my cell phone infrequently. If you're trying to reach me in real-time email or texting is faster than calling my cell phone. I do get notifications of voicemails left at the above number immediately via email. If you do text me please do not send gifs and animations (due to my migraine-related visual sensitivities). Also, if you have my cell phone number please don't share it.
Email Newsletter
Sign up for my email newsletter to get emailed updates every week.
Social Media
Please email me instead of sending direct messages via social media. Please note that I will respond to messages sent to social media on a best effort basis, as I have capacity, when I'm actually logged in. Email will get a faster response.
Facebook Page
My Facebook page has updates about things I'm working on and noticing. I am very limited in how I use Facebook Messenger, please email for a more reliable response.
My Instagram account is @albergblomI do put things on Instagram and do look at other's presences as I can. Because Instagram autoplays video (a migraine trigger) I don't spend more than a few minutes a few times a week. If there's something you'd like me to see, please email me (and do share any static images, please don't send gifs or video).
I really like LinkedIn for public conversations in mine or other's comment sections. I prefer not to use LinkedIn's messenger system. Please do email me.
Threads
I am on Threads.
Bluesky
I'm also on Bluesky, as @albergblom.bsky.social.
In Person
I currently do not have open studio hours. Some Artist Career Consultations through Springboard for the Arts, particularly those with artists with disabilities who prefer to meet in person, can be scheduled in person in St. Paul at Springboard for the Arts offices.
