Entertainment Resource Center

"Our goal is to allow entertainers the ability to make public who they are and where they are to the people who might want to hire them for events," says Carol Van Bruggen. "I started this site because several times, as a board member of an organization with a budget to pay for entertainment for events, I could not readily find local entertainment. It is f r.e.e for entertainers to enroll and have a web page and direct contact by potential clients."

Buzz Music

"Buzz Music is a web site dedicated to showcasing the projects, profiles and products of up-and-coming artists across the globe," says Andrea Hubbert. "Our site is an appropriate vehicle to garner pre-release reviews, strengthen an artist's image with profiles and interviews, initiate contests with fans, and more. It is our hope that enough musicians and labels will contribute their content, music, stories, etc., so that it becomes a haven for live music fans throughout the world."

Muse's Muse Artist Spotlights

"I started something recently called Artist Spotlights," says Jodi Krangle, creator of the Muse's Muse web site. "It's not f .r e.e, but it's a very inexpensive way for artists to promote themselves, and it helps me cover the expenses of running the web site. In addition to placement on the site, in the month your spotlight is placed within the Artist Spotlight section, your blurb and link will also be put into a 'new additions to the Artist Spotlight' section within the Muse's News newsletter, which goes out to over 12,000 subscribers."

Raise a Million Dollars
Raiseamilliondollars.com The title is a little misleading, but Matt Canham's new site is all about raising money to help creative people around the world make their dreams a reality. And he's looking for new talent to expose. "In offering this support of culture and the arts, we seek to preserve the past, share the present and imagine the future," Canham writes. "You can be a part of this by helping us with the funding to produce new projects."
