About Artist Quick Facts

Your Artist Directory listing is also called Artist Quick Facts. It is what someone sees after clicking Artist Websites from FASO.com and selecting a particular name.
Click here for an example.

Your Artist Quick Facts is a single page about you as a fine artist. It is a place to compile information and present it in a format that's easy for your collectors and fans to view.

Having the Artist Quick Facts page also allows you to create some links to other sites that you manage, allowing you to tap into traffic that we generate on this site.

The majority of info that appears in your Artist Quick Facts page is automatically propagated and updated according to info that you enter into your website.
