PALMM's Ringling Collection "The Ringling Theatre Collection project is entirely the work of the University of Florida’s Smathers Libraries. Description and arrangement of the Collection for digitization was the work of the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts. The selection of new images for the digitization is the on-going responsibility of the Belknap Collection. The conversion project was designed by the Digital Library Center, which was joined by a volunteer staff to digitize images and to up-date database information. The Libraries’ Systems Department maintains both the Collection’s database and the programming essential to searching, retrieval and display. While the Digital Library Center maintains a digital archive of TIFF images, the Libraries’ Preservation Department maintains the Collection’s source archive, the Collection itself."

There are records for all the slides in the online Design Library Image Collection and a third of the records also have a digital image online. The web-accessible Image Collection is an extension of traditional library services and is provided in a manner that respects fair use rights, the rights of copyright holders, and current copyright law."
AICT -- Art Images for College Teaching "Art Images for College Teaching (AICT) began as a personal project dedicated to the principle of free exchange of image resources for and among members of the educational community.

All work on the AICT project has been voluntary, and MCAD-affiliated personnel have contributed innumerable hours of research, clerical, and design effort on a pro-bono basis. Use of the images displayed on this website has also been contributed on a non-royalty basis for the public good."

Whether material as form or immaterial as meaning, the beautiful is an effect that is sensed and remembered. In her review of SOFA NEW YORK 2002, Roberta Smith, Art Critic of The New York Times, said, "In the end it doesn’t matter if you call it art or craft; what counts is presence, and it can be found in almost every booth. ("SOFA NEW YORK 2002," Art in Review, May 31, 2002)."
Armory Art Center "The ARMORY Art Center, a non-profit community based visual arts education and exhibition center, was founded in 1986 to fill the gap by the closing of the Norton Gallery's School of Art. Art students, preservation activists, philanthropists, the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association and the Palm Beach County Cultural Council joined forces to create the Armory Art Center using the former Palm Beach County National Guard Armory, which was vacant and slated for demolition."
ArtCenter South Florida "ArtCenter was established in 1984 by a small group of artists who envisioned a potential cultural renaissance in what was then a blighted and vacant Lincoln Road. In partnership with the City of Miami Beach, the group obtained Federal Community Development Block Grant funds to acquire properties and create an artists' colony in 21 storefront spaces. Since then, ArtCenter has become the cultural and economic catalyst for the revitalization of the Lincoln Road neighborhood and South Beach. In 1986, the City of Miami Beach recognized the success of our founders' vision by designating ArtCenter's three-block area as the Lincoln Road Arts District."
