! NOTE !
Like most 'LINKS' pages on the web, there will, no doubt,
be more and more dead links on this page over time.
It may be years at a time before I return to this page to
remove dead links and replace some links with better links.
In the meantime, try 'WEB SEARCH' links provided on this page.

Some 'WEB-DIRECTORIES' of Fine-Art sites < Go to Table of Contents, above. > < Go to Top of Page, above. > It seems that 'web directories' are dying out. Google and Yahoo closed theirs down around 2014. Then around 2017, the directory from which the Google and Yahoo web-directories were spawned --- the DMOZ 'Open Directory Project' closed down. It seems that it is just not feasible for a team of people to keep up with all the sites that are going dead and the new sites that appear. About a year after the dmoz.org site closed down, it appears that a new web-directory site --- curlie.org --- arose from the ashes of 'dmoz.org'. It remains to be seen how long that web-directory lasts. Following are a few links related to 'web directory' sites. Wikipedia List of Web Directories - at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_directories the 'Curlie' web-directory project on VISUAL ARTS - at curlie.org/Arts/Visual_Arts/ (click on categories such as "Chats and Forums " or "Collectives" or "Directories" or "Famous Artists" or "Galleries" or "Museums" or "Periods and Movements" or "Personal Pages" or "Resources" or "Shopping" or "Thematic" --- or click on types of art such as "Animation" or "Ceramics" or "Computer Graphics" or "Drawing" or "Painting" or "Photography" or "Sculpture" --- or see Google Groups at the bottom of the page --- or search engines at the bottom of the page) Rather than depending on any remaining 'web-directory' links, here are some WEB SEARCHES to get you started with 'fine art' inquiries --- using keywords 'art gallery', and keywords 'art museum', and keywords 'art surreal'. Another approach to take: Go to the Wikipedia Art page or Wikipedia 'Lists of Artists' page or Wikipedia 'Category:The_arts' page or Wikipedia 'Category:Visual Arts' page or and start following links from that page. Go to Table of Contents, above.
