An Annotated List of Web Sites Pertinent to the Visual Arts
Introduction: This annotated list is intended to serve as a guide to studying various aspects of the visual arts. It is intended to serve primarily the needs of art scholarship and professional interest, rather than the art market; however the diversity of the sites are such, that it is likely that interest in almost any aspect of the visual arts could be satisfied. This list does not include information that must be paid for unless it serves as an educational resource. There are a total of 307 web sites, arranged under the following categories:
African/African American Art – 18 web sites
Art Advocacy – 3 web sites
Art Education – 29 web sites
Art History – 9 web sites
Associations & Organizations – 20 web sites
Biographical Sources – 9 web sites
Career Development – 3 web sites
Contemporary Art – 7 web sites
Directories – 35 web sites

Journals, Magazines, & Newsletters (Online) 65 web sites
Museums – 15 web sites
Opportunities – 6 web sites
References/Resources – 41 web sites
Women in the Visual Arts – 25 web sites
Categorizing these sites proved challenging and placement remains open to debate as many of them delve into a wide variety of concerns. Likewise, some sites, particularly the directories, tend to be redundant in the information that they provide; however, due to the uncertain longevity of some web sites a little redundancy is a good thing. Statements about specific sites indicating largest, oldest, etc. derive from the site itself and has not been verified by the compiler.
