web critique #12 - chicago artist's coalition

http://www.caconline.org/default.asp?page=services
i came across this site about a year ago when i was searching for art related jobs. i was a bit disappointed when you needed to sing up and become a member with a fee. i'm always a little reluctant to pay for access to a site. after a more in depth look at the site this time around i have more confidence in contributing my money if i wanted to become a member. there is a lot of great information for chicago artists including health insurance. i am real curious to see the job postings :) but can't afford to be a member at this time. the event calendar is jam packed and updated. it bothers me when a site isn't updated because then i won't want to go back and visit. i looked through the gallery. can't say i was too impressed with a lot of the work, but being an artist i understand the process and emotional dedication that goes into the art-making process and appreciate all art work. the site has a clean simple design and it is extremely easy to navigate.
