ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE - WHAT WE DO - OUR PHILOSOPHY

Who We Are

Art-Bridge.com (c/o Arthbys.com Inc.) is an Internet Art Directory.  For the past six years a dedicated group of a very talented artists and experienced wed designers combined their efforts to bring  together the best  art resources in a clear, easy to find, reference location.    

What We Do

Our mission is in creating an open window for artists and art businesses, to promote their works and services, to become the BEST art source on the Internet.  Worthwhile art cries out for both intimacy and broad exposure. Intimate exposure is our goal and particular oxymoron.  Read more on our mission...

Bypass blues No matter how much money you spend on a nicely done artistic eye-catchy Web site, it means nothing if people just pass by. There is nothing more exasperating than absorption in a black hole, that hole in a laptop where all money goes.  In this Cyber Soup many da Vincis will become a vegetable. Our solution is in a quirky format and personal time, care and attention to individual needs. Now you can be personal, interactive and yet reach so many people. This is what we do.

Our Philosophy  

  • Art-Bridge is different from ALL OTHER Search Engines and most Internet Directories that prioritize listings based on "popularity", "relevancy", "quality", "importance", "keywords bid", "alphabetical order", or any other criteria.
  • We do not rank or use any ranking system in our Directory.
  • Web site/ business owners have full control over how their sites are presented in Art-Bridge Directory. You tell us where and how you'd like to see your listings presented and we'll do exactly that. Owners can re-move, re-list, upgrade, visualize, re-categorized their listing.

Intimate Exposure

  • The Intimate Exposure is a unique approach to web site presentation in Art-Bridge Directory.
  • Most Search Engines and Web Directories use indexing, using search algorithmic, traffic statistics, link popularity, and other intelligent tools. Our presentation is not "intelligent", it is "sensual". We are dealing with ART, remember?
  • Textual Title and Description listing give you information a feeling.
  • A visual image next to description gives you impression. (A picture worth a thousand words). Profile icons give you instant visual message about the web site contents.
