Welcome to the Arts Alive! Internet Resource Room

Here you will find all the Internet Art links you'll ever need to be a happy, up-to-date, artist, teacher, or parent of an artist.

This room is sponsored by a grant from the California Department of Education, Division of Visual and Performing Arts.

We hope to keep these links up-to-date, so please contact us at brian@covelo.net if you find any dead ones. Of course, we have no control over the material on the sites linked, but hope they prove useful.

So it is only possible to add a piece when there is already a completed part to put a new one next to it. You'll find more information about how to contribute etc. in the Homepage of the Project.
