Project Mission Statement
To provide all artists in the San Juan County region a venue to promote their artwork and build community into their art.

By making the artist and their work the foremost purpose in this virtual community building, regional artists will be better able to connect and be made aware of their rich artist community and its resources.

Program highlights
The virtual community will provide all artists an affordable means to communicate their art, and learn about what other artists are doing in the area. As a resource it will provide information for classes and demonstrations, student mentoring programs, and will incorporate student arts, art supply classifieds, and monthly artist interviews, as they become available as well as other daily, weekly, and monthly highlights.

Marketing as a group - Web Site Marketing 101
Single web site marketing can be expensive and time consuming As example Yahoo! now charges an annual fee of $300, and other directories are charging as well. As for marketing, the project aim is to provide an alternative marketing method by housing many different arts in one web site location, createing a greater relevancy ranking in search engines as a resource for the group as a whole, still allowing each subject to be marketed individually. As an example of this, the more potters there are in the pottery section, the greater the opportunity for high search engine relevance ranking, which will be attained by the descriptions of each artist's works.

The artist portal will also be promoted with regional art events, exhibitions, and museums from Seattle to Vancouver. Reciprocal links will mean individuals visiting those web sites will find a link to ours.

The secondary marketing spin-off for the artists will be the visibility to island visitors. The portal will be well connected to search engines and local portals that promote tourism to the San Juan Islands.
