ArtsAtlas Artist Directory

The chickens have now hatched and the ArtsAtlas web site can be accessed at http://www.artsatlas.com.au/

There are How-to-Guides in the Resources section of the site to assist you in creating your artist profile, space and/or event.

Also keep an eye out for further training opportunities to be run through Neighbourhood & Community Houses in Ballan, Ballarat, Beaufort, Daylesford and Haddon by Yum Studio.

Seven artists have been commissioned to develop further content for the site over the next 5 months as well as the preloaded interviews and articles from Kent Wilson’s Golden ArtNet.

The site is live now so take advantage and add yourself and your arts org. A launch is being planned for Friday February 8th 2013, 5PM onwards in the Annex / Function Room of the Art Gallery of Ballarat and is part of the Backyard Tasters. It will be a fairly relaxed affair with cake, champagne, big screen, sign in sheet for training, short speeches, maybe even a “Lute player from the Central Highlands” – (or perhaps not).

Congratulations to Carolynne Hamdorf of LEAP for leading the project, the Ballarat Arts Alive web team who worked on developing the functional specifications, Green Graphics, the web designers who got the WordPress platform to enable the features we specified, and to the trial Artists and Organisations who provided the test content.
