Links to Arts & Craft On-Line

    The amount of info on the web is enormous, as anyone who's ever tried to run a search can attest to.  And, to put it all in context, best estimates say that only a fraction, maybe 20 - 40 % of what's out there is actually making its way to the search engines. 
    Well  ...
    Here at DownStreet, we'd like to try to help.  So each issue, we post a few links in Arts & Craft to sites that might interest you.  Sometimes the links will be related to one another  ...  sometimes we'll just offer up a somewhat random sampling.  Sometimes they're about Vermont sites, sometimes not.  In either case, we think we might be able to help you find the kind of site you've been looking for.
    Of course, while we can't vouch for the fact that every link we provide will be of interest to everyone, we do our best to filter out the noise and the bustle.  ...
    We hope you enjoy the following sites as much as we do.

UVM Art Resources

As we hope you've read already, Sy & Zina Budofsky, the focus of this month's Local Artists, both began their retirements with art courses at UVM.  Therefore, as a companion to this month's feature -- Time for a Change, The Art of Sy & Zina Budofsky -- DownStreet's Links to Arts & Craft on-line offers these links to UVM Art Resources on-line.

Note:  Unlike most of our links pages, where we rate the sites we review, here, we'll simply present the list of UVM's Art Resources on-line.
