Artists Space, located in New York City, used its Warhol Initiative Fund Grant to support an upgrade of its online artists’ file; a searchable database of professional contacts for emerging artists. This website can be viewed at www.local-artists.org. The organization began collating this information in the late 1970s and it has grown into an online archive featuring thousands of artists. The upgrade improved the user interface of this website and also integrated components of peer-to-peer networks, allowing communication between users.
