The VisualArtsNet site is a portal for the Australian Visual Arts and Crafts community. Users are able to research other artists, organizations, and white papers, as well as post information and comments.
The brief outlined the importance of having a visually stimulating design, but at the same time needed to complement the artworks, rather than compete with them.
One of the most popular areas of the site is the Artist Gallery, where artists can enter their details and images of their art or craft. In the Artist's Directory users can enter and edit their own details. Together with the forum, these sections are very successful in creating an online community for artists and crafts people.
