Artist Websites
Artists’ websites or gallery representation pages can be a great initial introduction for students, particularly those who are visual learners, as they often feature galleries of work, news articles, and videos. We suggest using these as resources for research projects, pre-visit materials, or post-visit “deeper dives” into artists’ work.
