Arts-Online

Arts-Online was one of the first community websites in 1993 – an early precursor to present-day social media network. Arts-Online website offered artists – lyricists, painters, sculptors, composers, dancers etc. – a venue to connect the artist with prospective buyers, without the engaging high-priced agents, costly galleries and symphony halls. The artwork was presented to the world via Arts-Online website, which the general public could see and experience and allowed the buyer to directly contact the artist.
