----------------------------Original message----------------------------

At the conference in Vancouver, there was a panel discussion entitled "Is
My Artist 'Listed'?"  During the discussion that followed, various
individuals mentioned online/Internet databases that they had created or
were creating that provided detailed information on local artists and
local exhibitions...information unavailable elsewhere.

We at FAU are going to start such an Internet-accessible database in the
coming months, profiling information taken from exhibition catalogs and
flyers associated with exhibitions over the past 15 years at our two
university galleries.  Before we start such an enterprise, I'm
curious to see what others have done and hear from others regarding their
trials and tribulations in the creation of these databases.  Please send
URLs as well.  Thanks!
