Florida Artist Directory Mission

  Our mission at the Florida Artist Directory is to offer a web site for Florida artists to affordably display original works of Florida art online. Our secondary goal under this mission is for members and guests alike to have a pleasant, relaxing time viewing the rich variety of Florida Artists and their unique and original works of Florida art here at the Florida Artist Directory.  In conjunction with the presentation of a Florida Artist's work in the Florida Artist Directory, the Florida Artist Directory desires to be the largest online community of Florida Artists exhibiting original art online.

Children Learning About the Arts

  The Florida Artist Directory has another mission. The Florida Artist Directory is assisting organizations that help kids by affording them an opportunity to deliver artistic education and experience in the arts or through an annual scholarship fund depending on annual size of Artist Members. Every member that signs up helps not only themselves when they display their original works of art in the Florida Artist Directory, but also helps the Florida Artist Directory to achieve its mission of delivering knowledge of art to children throughout the state of Florida.  By utilizing a portion of the annual Membership Fee to assist individuals and organizations, Artist Members automatically help children that might otherwise go without the rich experiences derived through immersion into the arts. The Florida Artist Directory wants to do its part in bringing the colorful, vibrant world of art to the children of Florida.

Creation of the Artist Directory Dream

  At the Florida Artist Directory, we would like to see every child have a hands-on learning experience delving into every artistic medium available to explore and discover how art is a major part of every person's life every day and to help them find out which particular art form may work best for them. How is one to know unless they try with their own hands: touching, feeling, revealing the inner beauty in that lump of clay, the dollop of paletted pigment so certainly stirred, those things found on the beaches and in the forests, and most of all, the treasures found only from within the heart and soul of an artist. How could you not want to open that door for someone who may otherwise never know?

So after talking about online artist gallery web sites with artists we met at arts and crafts shows, we couldn't believe what we were finding out: Everyone we met told us that they were paying $6.95-$49.95 every month and some even more! When they added credit card processing fees, domain name fees, and hosting fees, the annual costs incurred for each individual artist seemed out of control. We decided that there was a better way to organize artist web sites and online art galleries. We found a way where everyone should be able to afford hosting an image gallery of their artistic endeavors. A place where it isn't about the monthly fees, but about delivering a uniquely Florida approach to displaying artists from Florida and Florida Art. And this is it! You found it! The difference here is that unlike other web sites, we are also artists, touring the country-side and city streets, setting up our booth, displaying our creations - possibly right next to yours. That's why we are committed to the Florida Artist Directory.  The displays in the Artist Galleries are designed to allow a varied experience of many styles of Floridian craftsmanship, talent, and diversity exclusively from Florida artists which leads us to our final mission goal: create a pleasing experience for visitors, guests, and Florida Artist Directory Artists. Won't you join us?
