How to get online information about SA artists

Where do you go to find out more about South African visual artists? Well, you can find almost anything online, can't you? No, you can not. Things only appear online when somebody places it there. If information on an artist has not been placed online by somebody you will not find it online.

That is where Zaties is becoming the solution for finding basic information on South African artists. We are working towards a complete illustrated directory of South African artists. That means at least one web page on every South African visual artist, past and present.

Information on South African artists is widespread but fragmented. Zaties is bringing all the basic information on visual artist together on one easily accessible website. Every artist page provides basic information on the artist’s life, work, exhibitions and other aspects related to their art. In addition you can see a small selection of the artist’s work.

Zaties is dedicated to provide information on all South African visual artists that is more than just a list of artists. What are the stories behind the names and the artworks? Every artist page will become a small biography of the life and work of the artist.
