RodMer Art Links

Here are some links to art sites on the Web. Of course, there is some danger to pages of links pointing to other pages which inevitably provide more links to other pages of links, etc. -- but despite that warning, here is the beginning of another page of links.

All the art links below will open in a second window --
simply close it when you are finished

The Art Links

Canadian Visual Artists on the Web

We started and used to operate this site -- but it has now been taken over and professionalized by our friend Barry Octeau

• it's a queriable database where you can see the works of over 1,400 Canadian Visual Artists (including Merike, of course) and link to their own websites
• a few of the top pages are a little out of date -- but Barry assures us that the individual artist entries and the underlying database are completely up to date
