News & Announcements:

Claudia Hill, Columbia University, has contributed three essays to the Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance, Cary D. Wintz and Paul Finkelman, eds. (Routledge Reference, 2004). Her essays are on the artists May Howard Jackson, Richmond Barte and on a major center for literary and artistic creativity during the Harlem Renaissance, 135th Street Library, now known as New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. More information on the Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance can be found at: http://www.routledge-ny.com/ref/harlem/.

NEW! Free Art Resources on the Web:
I often have questions from students, local artists, and art teachers, about free resources on art and artists that are accessible to them on the Internet. There are several sources I use regularly, often to support or supplement subscription resources, and also as a teaching tool when offering instruction sessions to students, to help them understand and utilize the different kinds of information they kind find online. This is just a brief list, and if anyone has a particular website they would like to add, please e-mail me at Laura.Graveline@Dartmouth.edu.

Many thanks to Loree Bourgoin, from the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts for her addition to this list. These resources are accessible on the web, either partially or fully without fees. To view this new online publication, please visit: http://www.arlisna.org/resources/onlinepubs/freeart.html.
