Arts, artists and artisans. That’s a mouthful. These creative and dare I say it artistic directories are a collection of useful online art references and resources. People are passionate about their craft, and artworks seemingly inspire that passion in all of us. Chock full of useful resources, including suppliers, known artists, hobbies and crafts.

We’ve spent a lot of time cleaning up the arts and artists directory list of the Info Vilesilencer directory lists. Each directory now has its own unique description, and is categorised specifically for its artistic niche:

- Antiques and Collectibles Directory List
- Crafts Directory List
- Design Directory List
- Film Directory List
- Graphics Directory List
- Photography Directory List
- Stage and Theatre Directory List

Most viewed directories of 2009

This is the top 20 most viewed directories on Info Vilesilencer (as at 23rd Dec 2009).

This section has been tabulated via the number of unique page views each directory’s individual “details page” has had since Sep 2008 (the inception of the new site). Each details page is unique and hand-written by an Info Vilesilencer editor. This level of content is not offered on any other directory list, and is the reason IVS drives real traffic to the highest quality directories available on the web. [READ MORE]

The Directory Editor’s Prayer

Directory Editors Prayer Man

The Directory Editor’s Prayer

Our submitters which art on the internet
Hallowed be thy domain
Thy submissions come
They will be done
Today or next week when I get the chance
Submit today via forum threads
And forgive us our rejections as we forgive those that also reject us
And lead us not into PR temptation
But deliver us from evil MFA sites
For directory editors are the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen
