ART WEBSITES AND BLOGS ABOUT OR OF INTEREST FOR ZAMBIA
Many Zambian artist or artists resident in Zambia still have to discover what the Internet can do for them. This website shows how the Internet makes your art accessible for viewers world wide - by a few simple clicks. The same medium allows you to enter a world of near infinite information about art or anything else you are interested in. It allows you to almost directly communicate with parties interested in your work, through e-mail, by chat or webcam. And, apart from information, communication and promotion the Internet facilitates doing business. You can buy and sell art via The Net. The Internet therefore enables you to function better as an artist and helps you to make a living out of art.
