Art Links
Some of the best fine art links on the internet
Page updated May 3, 2008

The Images of Eyes Gallery is a fine art gallery website devoted solely to art work, paintings, and images that contain one or more eyes (or at least suggest the presence of an eye!).  We find these original, unusual, and unique images by visiting art and art-related websites and by using search engines, directories, and other resources.  On many occasions, artists have answered our call for artists, and their works are exhibited in Gallery I or Gallery II.  The images on this page are linked to the artist's exhibit in Images of Eyes Gallery I.

This page contains the website addresses of carefully selected art work websites and other art-related resources that we think you may find interesting, useful, or informative.  In keeping with the images of eyes concept, this list is international in scope and may include obscure or relatively unknown websites.  We hope you will be curious enough to take a look at some of the websites in this list.  We have no financial interest, connection, or affiliation with any person or any website mentioned on this page.  The use of small fonts by some websites listed below may discourage user activity.

From time to time, entries in this list will be added, revised, or deleted.  The list is more or less alphabetical, considering the wide variety of links.

Have you found a high-quality art-related website that should be included in the Art Links List?  To recommend it, all you have to do click here and send us the website's address (URL).
