Other sharing . Many artists use the web to find out about galleries, calls for entries, grant opportunities, classes, shows, etc. And there are a number of sites about art history, rife with images of everything from prehistoric carvings on. A couple of people report maintaining computer-based catalogs or portfolios of images to email to prospective buyers or galleries. While only a few people report having sold work over the Internet so far, many feel the effort and cost will prove to be worthwhile.
People seem to be more relaxed to write rather than talking to an artist in person.
More and more artists are building their own sites, too. Computers can do a lot for artists, but not everything.
