ArtSites Updates

Many of our early ArtSites customers had expressed interest in us providing a directory of artist. We created a simple directory but that just didn't feel like it was enough. It wasn't taking advantage of the new, cutting edge ideas of community and two way conversations that have been evolving on the internet over the last couple of years. The so called "Web 2.0". We wanted something that would really engage the artist and their followers and create excitement around their artwork.

To this end, we have create Lustrio.com a place where artist can post, gather feedback and discuss there work with their peers and the general arts community. Members of the community can award Lustrios to those work that they feel warrant special praise.

We are still in the early development stages of Lustrio.com but we welcome all interested in helping shape the growth of this community.

For those who already have ArtSites accounts, we have provided an easy mechanism for you to import some or all of your ArtSites artwork into Lustrio.com. Once you have registered for a Lustrio account (http://Lustrio.com/artists/new), go to your Profile and click on the Import link. You will be asked for you ArtSites login information and then provided a list of artwork that you can choose to import from.

So go to http://Lustrio.com/ and have fun! Please let me know if you have any problems or if you have any ideas for improving Lustrio.com.
