So, Why a New Website?
 Our mission is to inspire a creative community- by
connecting artists with art lovers, by helping to publicize performances, and by
informing all stakeholders in the arts (that means you) of the opportunities
and benefits of our vibrant arts community. For several years, we have watched
the exponential growth of using electronic media (EM) to access the arts,
indeed, we've been a part of it with our own website. But as important, we've
seen EM grow as a tool for decision making, and recognized an opportunity. Many
visual and performing artists have a website, and it's more or less essential
if you're a gallery or performing arts organization. It's how you describe what
you do, when you're doing it, and what it looks like- and this information is
always available. Great. More... |
New Website Features
ArtScene.org is the one-stop source
for arts information that links back to the arts community. Check
out some of our exciting new features: Easy to use in-depth calendar information that arts organizations can update. Users
can browse events by type of event, organization name or keywords. Arts Advocacy page
providing opportunities for your voice to be heard with easy access
to government decision makers.
