An art directory is similar to an ordinary web directory such that it is an extensive catalogue of web addresses which are indexed by subject and relevance. It can store information about an artist, a musician, an actor, or an art shop. Art directories help people to easily locate an artwork of a specific artist or of a specific genre. Art directories play an important role in promoting the arts and artwork by providing a visual door to the outside world with the help of internet.

Selected directories, on the other hand, comprise of websites and pages which have been vetted. Selected directories provide links to other websites and documents relating to a specific theme or subject. These directories help you to find out documents or materials provided by experts in each field. Some of the popular selected directories include About.com and Virtual Library. Art directories can be any of these types. If your website is included in a popular web directory, then people or art buffs can type queries into the directory and the directory will look for relevant matches. A web surfer can also look in the indexed categories of the art directory. Some main categories can also include sub categories which pertain to various aspects of the primary category.
