The content of all text-based links has been written clearly and concisely to aid users with assistive devices.

Artist Directory
This allows you to upload your details. You can also display images of your art and work via your Flickr account. If you don’t have a Flickr account, you can set one up – it’s easy and free.
Flickr is an online photo management and sharing tool. You can add notes and tags to each photo, allowing you to find and sort images using Flickr tags.
What are Flickr tags? Quite simply, Flickr tags are a way to organize your images. That’s it, nothing fancy. For instance, if you have uploaded a photo of dancing cats, you will probably want to categorize that photo as “dancing cats”. That way other people looking for dancing cats can find your image.
