Welcome to the Arts Bazaar, a place to spend a luxurious, intriguing, or surprising minute scrolling through stalls of art as one strolls through a bazaar.

Browse the Home page

The home page is like the first — and most eclectic — vendor of the Arts Bazaar, containing an inherently random list of selections arranged by entry date.

Categories

Browse a certain category of posts as you would approach a specialty vendor on the street; select a new link from the sidebar.

Search

A different and interesting use for search is to choose a random word, like “bird,” and the browse the results! Of course you can also just search for something, too.

Interact

You must sign up for a username with wordpress before commenting. Sorry for the one-time hassle. The Arts Bazaar can be a fun place to talk about poems or poets, just as real bazaars are much more fun when crowded with interesting people. Go ahead; be interesting! Each page has a place to leave your thoughts.

Find where comment activity is taking place by looking at the sidebar’s “Recent Comments” section.

Subscribe

If you click the RSS link (on each page at the top and bottom), then your “bookmarks” folder in your browser will automatically contain a link to the newest 10 posts, making it easy to see if there’s new content without even checking the site!

Where’s all the stuff?

Yes, one would expect more than just one item — poetry in this case — at a bazaar. Down the road the Arts Bazaar should become a real bazaar featuring literary and visual and performing arts in a fast, enlightening, and refreshing venue. The Arts Bazaar is a place for minds on the go. Have ideas? Want to help? Leave a comment.
