Help keep Artaxis.org independent and ad-free!
Artaxis is the generous effort of a few highlighting the brilliant talent of many. I feel fortunate to be included in such good company and am thrilled to be able to give back to this valuable resource. James Aarons
Artaxis Organization Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit art organization that is supported entirely by volunteers, donations, and application fees. We believe in providing a resource for visitors to view the work of contemporary artists in an ad-free setting. A website of this size costs money and as our traffic has increased, so too as the cost of our web-hosting.
Artaxis is a vital and vibrant resource. As an artist, it helps me reach out to an interested audience. As an educator, I can direct my students to the site to learn about high quality artists and their work. Anna Calluori Holcombe

Some examples:
I am not able to give much, but like to donate to Artaxis because to me it is the best contemporary ceramics site I know, and I enjoy being on a site with such good company! And because the page layout for artists is so succinct and pro, I often give my Artaxis page out instead of my website. Stanton Hunter
As artists, we get asked to donate time, artwork, and money to many worthy causes every year. Although I cannot afford to help with all of them, I do try to help fund Artaxis. The dedicated folks at Artaxis spend countless hours and money providing over 1,000 artists with a professional portfolio page and exposure to students, educators, gallery owners and collectors around the world. For that I am honored, grateful, and happy to contribute. Eric Van Eimeren
Artaxis has been an exceptional resource for ceramic growth, for its members and aspiring ceramic students alike. It serves to connect and inspire everyone interested in the medium and I consider myself honored to be a member and supporter. Richard James
