SPONSORING THE ART DEPARTMENT AND PRINTMAKING DIRECTORY

A message primarily for suppliers of artists' materials, though individual artists and webmasters may also take advantage of this opportunity. Posting of all basic links will remain free.

Begun in 1999, this quick-access directory to university art departments, artists' links and suppliers has become a standard reference for educators, students and working artists worldwide. The Directory is consistently averaging about 1800 page loads a month (having reached over 6000/day in the past due to national press coverage), with many visitors coming to the "Art Supplies and Equipment" page. I am an artist, printmaker and educator myself, and, as the site continues to expand with link requests from companies and universities, I am now seeking sponsors to assure the site remains free and well-organized. Your link suggestions (free postings) are welcome, but funds generated from sponsored links will be used for employing students in further upgrades to this directory. Please consider the following:

Online Referrals
If your company has an online referral program, please let me know. A referral fee from your website assures bold text for your link.

Annual Paid Sponsorship (Two Options, US Funds)
$250 paid yearly will guarantee you an annual enhanced listing on the "Art Supplies and Equipment" page. Rather than the current, uniform alphabetized text listing of your site, a banner link will be used, more prominently displaying your company name.

An annual donation of $150 will assure your company name is in bold text on the "Supplies" page, increasing the prominence of your listing.

One-Time Paid Sponsorship (Two Options, US Funds)
$1500, paid as a one-time donation, will guarantee you a life-time banner link at the top of the "Supplies" page rather than the current, alphabetized text listing of your site. These banners will be organized on a first-come, first-served basis.

A one-time sponsorship of $2500 will guarantee this same banner link location at the top of the "Supplies" page, as well as placement on the Home Page and every main page of the Directory (Home, US Directory, International Directory, Artists' Pages, Art Supplies & Equipment, and Links).

If any of these options are of interest to you, please contact Bill Fisher to arrange for paying by check. If you'd rather pay online, click on the "Make a Donation" link below which will take you to Paypal. Please send an E-mail to verify your donation. Also feel free to contact me with any other ideas regarding sponsorship you might have.

Many thanks to all who have supported this directory in the past, and to our current sponsors.
