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.
