Scotland's Artists was started after my first tentative steps into the world of web site creation. My first site was for a neighbour who worked as a Sculpter & Painter and was interested in a web presence. It was soon after that I noticed a lack of web sites exclusively dedicated to Artists living & working in Scotland. The intention is to list as many artists as possible each with their own page giving brief information about the artist and how they may be contacted along with a representative selection of their work. The search facilities have been enhanced and simplified in this new version of the site while still retaining the ability to search by name, medium region and studio/group membership. Eventually I would like to develop the Galleries section to list as many in Scotland as possible along with an up to date directory of exhibitions being held. Finally a list of Suppliers, framers etc who supply Scotland's Artists would complete a comprehensive One Stop site that can be used by Artists and members of the public alike.
This site is currently my hobby along with contructing websites for small businesses. My 9 - 5 is working as an ICT technician in a secondary school. Maybe at some point in the future it will become something more but I intend that it will always be free for Artists and Galleries.
If you know of anyone who may be interested in joining please would you pass along details of this site and if you have any comments, suggestions etc please
