Artists' Area

Welcome to the artists' page! If you're a member, we appreciate having you here. For prospective members, take a look at all we have to offer and see if it meets your needs.

Our Goal

The Enchanted SouthWest Artists is a web site devoted to increasing the visibility of the art community in the southwestern United States. We feature the works of serious artists from the region, and we also invite artists from other parts of the country to participate as guest members. Our objective is to promote artist development and exposure.

Our Purpose

The purpose of this site is to exhibit fine works of serious art for display. We are not a clearinghouse for non-original works or piecework. Only those pieces which show true artistic merit are considered for display, as we want to maintain the integrity of hard-working artists everywhere. We are not here to judge talent or technique; rather, we wish only to display works created in the true spirit of artistic expression.

If you're serious about your craft, we have a place for you here. All styles, genres and media are welcome. We have four different classes of artist, along with some special categories under which you may display. So wherever you are in your career or life, you can find a place on this site.

How We Work

We'll do whatever we can to help artists move ahead in their careers. We'll get you in the public eye, help with bios, offer advice, or do anything in our power to help you achieve your dreams. We're behind you all the way.

We keep our membership fees deliberately low to encourage as many artists as possible to participate. We want to see artists have their own web sites to conduct business and further promote themselves, so we're offering sites in a range of modest prices for members. We also offer low-income assistance and other programs. If you have any other special circumstance, let us know. We may be able to help.

This site is not about making money so much as it is about our own personal involvement in the arts and our strong desire to promote and support the arts in this and other communities.

So take a look, read about our features, and give us some feedback if you'd like. These pages belong to the artists and those who appreciate their talents. It's all about you, so let us work to make it your home.
