Artist Written Articles
The Arts-fine-gallery Site, was set up by the artist Samuel Durkin. The project is for it to be artist driven. For artists to come together to promote themselves, and in doing so promote each other. As well as displaying artwork. Artists are able to write helpful and interesting articles. each article links to the authors own page. Writing an article that gives useful information about art gives a reason for people to visit the site, and promotes the artist who wrote it.
