This site is really fantastic! It only covers the Washington D.C. area and the different arts around there, but nevertheless, it very much covers all of the arts areas there. I would recommend this to anyone who has the time to just sit and look at all the different arts that are going on all the time in just this one area. The site has links to performing arts, visual arts, litereary arts, and a few arts organizations. There's also lists of the different arts venues (i.e. comedy, music, galleries, etc.) in the area. It's neat just to look at the diversity of arts in this one page. It looks pretty current, and I'd rate this page with 4 stars.

I believe Christian Activities is an ezine. The categories listed on the homepage are Articles, Events, Music, News, Resources, Christian Political, Ministries, Classifieds, About Us, Kids, and Teens. It is targeted to Christians of all ages. My favorite feature about it is the calendar that lists the concerts and appearances of Christian Musicians (the only problem is that it is for the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia-the Mid-South). On the website, you can look for a job, read Christian articles, and find out about ministry events (among other things). It was last updated on August 31,1999. I give this site 3 stars because some of the site was still under construction and I wish it also covered Nebraska and Missouri (it's a cool site otherwise).

Performing Arts Online is a webpage that allows you to view linked websites from the categories of Artists, Managers, Presenters, Links, Forums, Services, and E-mail. At this site you can create your own website to add to this web page or you can simply go there to look at other people's. It also has a special "Discussion Forum" feature that allows for and aids "meaningful dialogue and networking." This site is for people who are serious about their career in performing arts and want to get their name out there or are looking for someone to hire. It isn't the best site to go to "just for fun." I found it interesting, however, that one of the categories listed was Managers, which turned into "Artist's Representatives & Management." Entertainment Managers (especially in performing arts) could use this website as a helpful marketing tool. I give it 4 stars for being such a great idea.

Description

I recommend this site for all ages. It’s a really great site. It’s like an online newspaper that is nothing but a giant entertainment section. It has the latest news on film, TV, music, international entertainment, business entertainment, and more. It’s divided up into a news section and a department section with reviews, columnists, productions and so on. It has lots of information on all areas of the entertainment industry, but it has a slight pull towards film. I rate this site with five stars.

I would recommend this site for high school and college students. The site was formed by an association that is devoted to preparing students to enter the music industry with the highest level of understanding for their field. The site has a list of music education schools, core information about the types of courses that are required and other information about what’s happening in the music world now. I would rate this with four stars.
