What is Arts Oracle?
The online directory for the arts. For those searching it is a resource that is accurate, fast and totally free of charge. For those listing it presents numerous opportunities, from free listings to a targeted banner campaign that can be specifically tailored to your needs. Arts Oracle was created because the industry was crying out for a directory that was free, that did not stipulate deadlines for entry, where advertising was reasonably priced and where listings could be updated and republished daily.

Is Arts Oracle also published in book form?
No. They do exist but we think the format of a handbook is too limiting. The information can be out of date before the book is even printed and the advertising options are reduced for the simple reason that when a page is printed it cannot be updated. We think it’s really important that to be the best we need to offer both those who search the site and those who list on it a service that is adaptable in our ever changing industry. We also think it should be free.
