I'm sure you've all heard of crowdsourcing by now, but it really does seem to be the intersection of social networking & artistic entrepreneurship. Perhaps this will be how everything is funded in the future ?

Interesting article about different cool tech things in various locations around Paris. A lot of the points have to do with art and culture. Bonus ! It was written by a friend :)

my sincerest apologies or this being in French, though I think you can view an English version... Ircam is internationally known as THE contemporary music research center... it's place in combining music in technology in the classical world is irreproachable.

I'm sure everyone knows this site, but I think it goes along well with the theme--providing a platform for artists to more easily share and sell their art around the world in one place.

I didn't realize WGXR had such a well curated and in depth website. The opera articles are particularly informative, and I've bookmarked it almost immediately in my newsfeed.

the ultimate young artist program resource for young singers.

informational site for opera performances, performers, and agencies.

great resource for informing oneself about arias and operas.

this is one of many sites I use to find auditions, competitions, and other resources for developing a career.

Great music blog for keeping up with what is going on in the classical world--both performance, and music-gossip-wise.
