Updated 10/31/2025
In the near future this page will be the launching point for a comprehensive and efficient reference data base. This will include, resources for artists, art students, art educators, and art organizations.
The Directory will include the following reference links and more: call for artists, art grants, art scholarships, artist residencies, fellowships, jobs, art schools and programs, college galleries, and other various art educational resources. We will also include everything from California based museums, galleries, art centers, to smaller non-profits, and art services. Currently, with a Bay Area emphasis, in the long term this will extend throughout California. This page will also include very specific national and international resources.
We've done a great deal of research to create a specialized data base that will provide much needed mobility for art students, and important references for artists and art professionals. We hope to begin publishing soon!
For now, enjoy our curated monthly lists, along with additional select opportunities in 2025!
