To all artists, musicians, performers, writers and arts supporters in the South West and beyond:

A recent initiative has begun in the South West to connect artists to a larger network, to profile your work and distribute information.  You have asked how we can be connected in the past and this is your answer!

So to get connected go to  South West Artist Register at:
http://southwestregister.com/

Its quick and easy.  TIP: make sure you put images in the ‘album’ section of your profile as this is where you will be able to share your work and potentially sell – its designed to be an online visual folio.

Linked to this and as a partnership project is another website you should join and be a part of called ‘F Project’ – this site is designed to keep you linked to events, opportunities in the arts, discussions and other great stuff.  Its also easy to join so take a look at:  http://fproject.org.au
