Who runs Wotartist

WOTARTIST is a free on-line, non-profit art gallery run voluntarily by professional and practising artists. Designed with ease of use foremost as a consideration, Wotartist's raison d'être is to bring the best contemporary artists currently exhibiting on the internet from search engine obscurity and hopefully to enjoy greater exposure. Wotartist's interface was born of the desire to democratise the exposure of artist's sites and to ensure that all the artists listed could be viewed in under 3 minutes.
Determined to make it easier for the art loving public to find artist's websites we knew we didn't want them buried on multiple sub-pages of our site. It was by finding a solution to the age old problem of image download times that we were at last able to list all our artists' websites, together with 3 sample images, (on page refresh a new image will show).

Democratic exposure

Wotartist tracks the number of unique visitors that click through to each artist's website so we are able to organise their location according to the number of visits their art sites receive from wotartist, with those with the least visits at any given moment being exhibited at the top of the page. As a consequence all the artists listed on wotartist enjoy equal exposure.

Artists selection

The aim of WOTARTIST has always been to create a unique grouping of the best artists exhibiting on the Internet. Of course this begs the question, How exclusive a gallery do we want to be? WOTARTIST is perhaps unique for being an art gallery run by professional and practicing artists. We more than most are acutely aware through personal experience of the elitism that can permeate many art institutions and have been rigorous in our determination to avoid this with our WOTARTIST project. We are not arbiters of taste nor wish to present a manufactured ideal of aesthetic with which we wish to be associated. Our selection criteria hopes to maintain the broadest possible parameters for inclusion and at the same time bring only the best artists from search engine obscurity to the wider viewing public. It is our view that art that "expresses the individual" will be included and art that feels formulaic will not.
