Current Status:

I intend to develop the name "finearts.ca" into a website. However, it will remain unoccupied until I am presented with an offer that I cannot refuse, or until I can find the time and resources to create a site that lives up to my standards of quality.

Potential uses for this domain:

• A portal for Canadian artists
• A news/information site for Arts events in Canada
• An online art supplies shop
• An online Art sale
• [ insert imaginative application here ]
• Email me your idea/proposal.
