Membership Information
The ARTfaces| ARTplaces Gallery is a collection of Artist's websites. Our main goal is to drive traffic to YOUR website. If you do not have a website yet, you may apply for membership, but you will need a website before we activate your membership. If you need a website and would like information on website design, development or hosting, please check out our sister site ARTplaces.com. There are also many other resources on the internet for free Artist's websites. Click Here for more information.
Our Home Page lists every member Artist with a link to their Profile Page and a link to their website. Every day we feature three of our Artists on the Home Page, we also feature three Artists with most recently updated Profile Pages. There is also a randomly selected artwork image that changes each time the page refreshes with a link to that Artist's Profile Page. New members are also highlighted on the Home Page for a period of time. There are also links to your website in the Gallery, on your Individual Profile Page and on our Search pages.
We do not sell artwork nor do we take a commission from any sales the Artist makes. If a viewer sees artwork they are interested in, they must contact you directly, so please have contact information on your website readily available. Your email address is also on your Profile Page. So please keep your contact information updated.
