Art Lovers discussion

Jai sent me a PM and suggested that I pass along this site to the members. She really likes it and thinks we will, too. I will use her words:

"is a site where you can access free essays on unlimited topics.
Free to join as a basic user, and it's all you need.
Also a place to post your own work and get noticed further (once you've published and already established copy rights)."

So here it is! I haven't checked it myself. I got her message after 10pm last night so I was in bed, this morning I posted this before I checked that out, but now I'm headed there. I will share my observations.

This is the thread where it would be great if any one of you who check this out would share your thoughts on what your find, too!

This is what I received when I first joined:

An example of an essay:
Dangerous Beauty: Medusa in Classical Art, by Kiki Karoglou.

and yes, I uploaded my own paper 🤓

Thank you Heather for the vote of confidence and share. 💐

This is amazing! I could get lost in here for days, weeks! I could take vacation time and sit here and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here. There is everything. What a treasure! Thank you for sharing this, Jai!
And, you're very welcome!

I'm so glad you're enjoying.
It's easy to get lost isn't it? So much to learn, so much to argue, so much to share.
Any subject you can imagine, someone has written on it.
It's Willy Wonka's factory for nerds 🤓
