How this site works
|
There is a lot of different
art to be explored here. We are quite purposefully making/keeping
this place eclectic. Most art lovers/collectors are eclectic, perhaps
not in their focus, but certainly in their taste. Here is art in
an embracing and inclusive definition. Enjoy that!
We fancy ourselves as
lying somewhere between an internet art portal and a art magazine,
with the intention of being both/and. We use
the www technology to make your experience efficient and friendly, but then
we hand-build our artist's pages, because website templates
homogenize everything into (boring) sameness. We continue to like
browsing the slick art magazines and think that most of you do, too. So we are choosing to retain that comfortable feel.
Start your excursion by
choosing a category. Presently there are nine. Soon there will be more.
Browse pages of
art/artist/gallery listings. There, a thumbnail and several lines of information will (hopefully) entice to move you on.
Click on an artist, a
gallery or an art work. You will go to a new full page with more
and larger photos of artwork, and enough information
to decide whether you want to learn even more. If you do, click on the
link to the artist's or gallery's website.
A new window will open
with the artist's website, where you can explore that new and bigger world to your heart's content.
Along the line are
opportunities to email the artist or gallery. Don't hesitate to do
that. Obviously you are not obligating yourself. Instead
you stand to learn more, and who knows, maybe even create a delightful
dialog with an artist nine time-zones away!
A final note: We do not
intervene or interfere in any way in your communication with artists or
galleries. We do not "harvest" email addresses or any
other information from your
activities in this site. We do not put cookies in your computer.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we do not share your address with
anyone, for any reason. In short, we want your involvement in this
project to be as fair and honest as it is possible to be.

Hints for usage |
Browse! Snoop! Enjoy!
This site is designed to be visual because people into art
are/love to be stimulated visually.
There are no search engines here that require you to reduce your visual interests to
words-as-search-parameters. Plenty of that around.
Visit often. We are always adding new stuff. Every day, in
fact. Bookmark us!
Don't hesitate to email artist/gallery, either from the artist's page
or from the artist's or gallery's website.

Down the pike |
We are planning new categories: Wearable
Art, Home Art, plus breakdowns of existing categories such as
Ethnic, Antiquities, etc (as they grow). We are also developing a Services
category that will include framers, appraisers, insurance companies and
the like. Events is probably the next category. This is a free
listing of openings, fairs, shows, etc. that would be of interest to our
viewers. Give us ideas here. We are also developing the entire
"educational" wing of the website: resources, glossaries,
articles, links to collections, etc. Help us here, too.

keep this a friendly place. Dialog enhances friendliness.

We really like new ideas.
So share yours with us!
And if there is an
artist, a gallery, a genre, a category or whatever that you would like
to see more of, let us know. We'll go to work on it.
Thanks for visiting.
And we hope you return soon!
