How do I search for an artist or venue?
If you know the name of the artist or organization, you can use the search field provided in the upper right hand corner. If you don’t know the artist or organization name, use our on-line directory to search under the appropriate category (Fine Arts, Performing Arts, etc.)
How can I register for more than 2 categories?
When first signing up, you get to choose your two categories. For example, if you are a painter AND a writer, you can post images and information about yourself if both the Fine Arts and Literary Arts categories of our on-line directory.
Can I use the same email address for 2 different memberships?
Only one email address can be used per membership. If the membership is an organization, or business, we recommend that no personal email accounts are used, in case of change of staff.
Why do I need an email account to register?
We use your email address to keep you up to date of any changes to your membership, to email you your lost password or any other information.
Where can I list the address of my studio, business, or location?
Go to your Account, select "Profile" from the User Menu on the left, then click on the "member information" tab. You can add as much text as you want in the "About" box, such as your address or any other information. Styling it in Bold will make it stand out!
I am new to this site and not an experienced computer person. How can I get help with this site?

Why does some of my text look like weird code?
Most likely there is a problem with using special characters, like ampersands or apostrophes. Re-word your image description, or profile text to see if this fixes the problem. If it still does not, let us know through the CONTACT form so we can look into it."

My pictures/images are too big – how do I edit them to the correct size?
Images will be proportionately resized to fit the maximum height of 500 pixels tall. Thumbnails are 100x100 pixels and are taken from a scaled centered section of the main larger images. We recommend that you use an image editor like http://www.online-image-editor.com/ to edit your images before you upload. Or use the following programs included with your computer's basic operating package:
Mac Users:
"Preview" is the included image and PDF editor on the Mac, and is located in your Applications folder and in the Dock.
Windows Users:
"Paint" is located in your Start/All Programs/Accessories.
