Thanks for a great effort!

Each year we have made improvements to our website at eurekaspringsartists.com. On April 1st we launched our best features to date: artists can now manage and update their own pages, have a blog to promote themselves, and add a shopping cart. We couldn’t be happier with the result. We have been privileged and blessed to work with a wonderful team on this project; and, we would like to publicly thank them for their contributions. I first must thank my spiritual brother and best friend, Larry Wishon, who has taken care of our site for the last several years. How Larry has put up with all my whims and caprices, without complaining, is beyond my comprehension! He just does, and does, and does. He IS the BIG ROYALE!
For this project we used a couple of new friends from out of town. Amanda Shertzer, from Code Poetry, did all of our PHP work and has just been awesome to work with. Amanda is continuing on with us as we further develop some features that will be coming online soon.
Drew, at Le Rhee Bows in Miami, Fl., integrated our shopping cart for us and did a killer job at a price we could afford. Muchas gracias mi amigo!
Tom and Cynthia Morin at Studio 8 Creations were instrumental in developing Sojourn. I look forward to continuing our collaboration. Great energy!
None of this would have been financially possible without Sally Thackery and the 50 artists that donated their time and talent to make Eureka Frame of Mind in 2006 such a success. And of course, there are all of our sponsors and partners who have kept us afloat for the last 3 years. Your graciousness and generosity are greatly appreciated.
The latest release of eurekaspringsartists.com is designed to empower our users. We have combined online registration tools, image uploading, shopping carts, and self publishing. We have also developed a new online magazine, Sojourn, with some great columnists to inform and enlighten our visitors. Soon our interactive events calendar will be added along with some other goodies that are still being developed. Be sure to subscribe to our feeds and newsletter so we can keep you updated.
It is our goal to become Eureka Springs premier blogspot. We are offering free blogs to anyone that has something to say. Blogs are being used to promote and market everything; so, why not promote our city and your art? Blogs are a great way to share your favorite fish tales, recipes, thoughts… you name it. People are interested in what others are thinking; share your heart and passions with the world, make new friends, build a network, or just journal for fun. It can be a very rewarding experience.
