What is the Artistic Network?

The Artistic Network is an online portfolio and networking service for artists, writers, photographers, musicians and other creative types. It offers a highly advanced global arts directory of members. The website is free, and it allows members to post their work on the web for anyone to see around the world.

The site includes extensive search utilities so that people browsing the site can find artists and their work through many paths.

Each member on the site has a profile with links to his/her/their websites. Members can upload images and music files to their profiles or articles. Visual artists have slideshows of their work automatically generated from the content they load to the site. Members can also add information into a database-driven calendar, and each has a built-in guestbook.

Perhaps the most beneficial function our site offers is an email newsletter system that each member can maintain and mail out individually. This automated system makes it easy to send out mass emails with links to your articles, events, profile and more. It is self-managed, meaning fans can subscribe and unsubscribe through the site instead of having to contact you.

You don't need to be a Web expert to use our site. Uploading images and music is as simple as clicking a few buttons. The same is true with adding/editing profiles, articles and calendar events.

Another extremely important quality of this site is that it was built to be search-engine friendly. That means that search engines index it regularly. If used properly, your work will be found via external searches on sites like Google and Yahoo.
