Quarterlife.com - An Artist Community for Everyone

quarterlife.com is a social network made up of artists who can share their work with other up and coming artists. The site also offers tips and resources about furthering your career and finding agents and publishers. Artists display their work on quarterlife.com by using a workspace called “My Studio” where they can upload and edit their art, whether it be visual art, music, photography, animation, writing, and other types of art that doesn’t fit into one category. There’s also a “My Private Studio” option for keeping your work secret from the public until it’s ready to be shared. There’s also a forum section that is broken up into several different topics not only relating to art, but also to activism, love, health and other life related topics. quarterlife.com is also home to an original online show concerning the lives and struggles of six artists in their twenties. The show has become so popular that it is scheduled to begin airing on NBC sometime in 2008.

“quarterlife.com, the social network, is devoted to facilitating that same coming of age as the series. Along with community building, it provides resources in all the areas of life that affect those in their twenties – careers, love, health, finances, education, activism.”

quarterlife.com is a helpful resource for young artists who need exposure and resources to help them along in their career. It has something for everyone and you don’t have to be an artist to appreciate it. With further exposure through TV, quarterlife.com will no doubt attract more and more members and be positioned to expand its operations in newer and more exciting directions.

Will the site’s show detract from its social network of artists? Even though the site has features unrelated to art, will non-artists be compelled to join?
