Artists come in many different forms. Artists paint, sing, dance, write, teach; they create pottery, digital computer designs, photographs, hand-made crafts, poetry, books and music. Even similar artists vary greatly in what they create.
Some artists practice their gifts for the simple joy of it while others have high hopes of someday being discovered.
Regardless of what type of artist you are, you are welcome to join Artists-In-Residence.com
Artists of all types, and all experience levels, can benefit dramatically from having their own website.
Having a website of your own gives you an outlet to display your talents - whether they are drawings, paintings, music, plays, books, hand-made items and everything in between.
A website helps you display - and possibly sell - your creations to anyone around the world.
The websites in the Artists-In-Residence.com are built using WordPress as our content management system. By using a point-and-click website building tool such as WordPress, you can have a fully ready website within just a few minutes. Visitors to your website can leave you comments and feedback on your work at any time. This can lead to new job offers, interview requests, and sometimes even book signings, gallery showings or booked music events.
Social networking is an ideal way for artists to build their name, brand, and fan base.
Artists who have a website with Artists-In-Residence.com can become involved in social networking simply by using some of the available tools in a system such as WordPress. Using these tools allows you to communicate with your website visitors directly. You can add tools that allow visitors to email your website link to others, post a "like" to their FaceBook pages, add it to public bookmarking sites that are shared with others, and much more.
There may be hundreds of different social networking websites available on the Internet today, but as a productive artist it is best to focus on only those that will bring you the greatest return. Focusing on the best will allow you to make the most of your online networking efforts while still having time to produce new creative works.
Artists-in-Residence.com has been providing free web space to artists in the visual, performing, and literary arts for over ten years. We are redesigning our website and when we relaunch we will be providing even more services to artists.
Artists who join our community will be able to create their
own website and will have access to our private forum.
Your website can be as simple as a one page resume or business card or you can create a multi-page website or blog. You will be able to link your Artists-In-Residence.com website to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other social networks you are a member of.
Before we relaunch our website we will be looking for artists who would like to join as testers and help us fine-tune our format.
If you would like to be notified when we are accepting test members, visit our About page.
