"Native Art Network is 100% Native American owned and operated by Paul and Lesley Kabotie (Hopi / Santa Clara Pueblo and Crow respectively). Our families of the Southwest and Northern Plains have a long history of involvement in the arts. The driving inspiration behind the web site was the desire of artists within our families and communities to have an affordable professional marketing presence on the internet. We have merged our experience and expertise in the areas of the arts, marketing, business, software, database and internet technologies to create a web site that is easy for artists to setup, can be updated easily by the artists themselves, is actively marketed and is visited by art collectors and connoisseurs worldwide."

"For decades, arts leaders and elected officials worked to increase Portland's creative capacity with the understanding that the arts shape neighborhoods, improve K-12 education, boost economic development and enhance livability. In 2008, a region-wide Creative Action Plan prioritized the need for a new dedicated funding stream for arts and arts education. The Creative Advocacy Network (CAN) was established as an independent 501(c)3 organization to develop and advocate for this proposed new public fund for the arts. And in 2012 CAN successfully established the $12.2 Million annual Arts Education and Access Fund."

StumbleUpon is a discovery engine (a form of web search engine) that finds and recommends web content to its users. Its features allow users to discover and rate Web pages, photos, and videos that are personalized to their tastes and interests using peer-sourcing and social-networking principles. I use StumbleUpon to bookmark creative or inspiring websites and to explore other art forms.

I like this StumbleUpon! I found the coolest page that shows how to fold a square of fabric into 12 or so different styles of sack- er wrap. I like the wine bag :)

I love using stumbleupon as another resource for viewing and reading about different art, music, activities, and other creative art sectors. I like how you can narrow down your searches to your specific interests.

Wordpress is a free and open-source software package originally designed for blogs but is also now used for websites, forums, and social networks. It lets programmers make plugins and themes and lets them distribute them for free or for pay. After reading through their documentation and examples in high school, I've used it to create several websites for clients -- free to me, and I can charge for my labor. Over the years it's gotten easy enough for almost anyone to put together with some effort and patience. It's putting the power of next-level internet content production into the hands of everyone, and it's getting easier every year.
