Today is artSMart’s 15th
birthday!
On April 24, 1999, Caroline Smart somewhat nervously
entered the world of the internet to launch an arts website dedicated to KZN. The
title is styled artSMart, using her name as the base and putting “art” either
side of SM.
It is now the largest multi-cultural arts
website/blog in the province and, apart from its immediate use to promote
events, it is regularly used for research purposes.
As of 11h30 this morning (May 24, 2014), the
all time history of page views number 722,090!
Music remains the top category, followed by
Drama and Visual Arts.
“When I created artSMart, I had no idea it
would grow to this level. Without the support of our loyal advertisers, I
wouldn’t be able to keep going. I also thank all my reviewers, supporters and
readers. Constantly fighting deadlines, I often bemoan that I’ve created a “monster”.
But what a delicious monster!”
