Welcome to the Artist Help Network, a free information service designed to help artists take control of their careers. The network assists artists in locating information, resources, guidance, and advice on a comprehensive range of career-related topics. The network focuses primarily on subjects of interest to fine artists. People working in the applied arts, arts administration, and arts-related fields will also find this site useful.

The site is organized to help you locate information that impacts your career now — and in the future. It is divided into seven general categories: Career - Exhibitions, Commissions & Sales - Money - Presentation Tools - Legal - Creature Comforts - and Other Resources. Each general category unfolds into numerous sub topics offering an abundance of regional, national and international resources. Listings include publications, organizations, professionals, Web sites, audio-visual materials, and software programs.

If you offer services or products of interest to artists, consider adding an entry and advertise on the Artist Help Network. Nonprofit organizations are listed free of charge.

Artist Help Network is a work in progress. It is continually being updated. There is a special email address ideas1@artisthelpnetwork.com for your ideas and suggestions for new resources. A chat room is provided for general feedback and to voice opinions on specific resources cited on the network.
