Volunteer opportunities regarding catalogue and database management
A. Providing new information for cataloguespublished by Traditional Fine Arts Organization(TFAO).
1. An opportunity exists for further development of theTopics in American Art catalogue, containing links amd information regarding many American Representational art topics:
- references to books, exhibition catalogues, magazine articles, DVD and VHS videos
- links to online audio files, video files and texts
- links to online museum exhibitions
- links to websites
An example of a topic is California Art History, one of TFAO's most developed topics.
TFAO is not seeking information on individual artists for the American Representational Art catalogue unless the information is presented in a manner closely connected to a listed topic. Individuals are covered in the Distinguished Artists catalogue and in articles and essays which we have published online.
2. The Distinguished Artists catalogue honors deceased artists with biographical information. TFAO seeks biographies of deceased American artists and artisans whose works have been exhibited in American art museums. Do you have a biography to contribute? To learn how please click here. All links to artist biographies must contain free information. TFAO avoids websites that require a fee to view complete biographies.
