1   Arts and Entertainment
This category is for websites about information and organizations related to arts and entertainment. Topics include architecture, art, dance, music, photography, theater, performing arts venues, museums, galleries, libraries, movies, and cultural events.

Please note that the websites of some businesses related to arts and entertainment are listed elsewhere. When the technical or commercial aspect is seen to overshadow the creative side, as with recording studios, production companies, and stores selling recorded music or cameras, the sites are listed in the Business and Economy category instead of the Arts and Entertainment category.

A subcategory of this category is created when there are enough sites about the specific topic to make a separate subcategory desirable. Until then, the sites are listed here.

1.1   Architecture
This category is for websites about information and organizations related to an area's architecture. Topics include building and landscape architecture, including such things as modern and historic buildings, and lighthouses. Topics also include activities, events, and organizations related to an area's architecture.

Please note that websites for architecture firms are not listed here, but instead are listed in the Business and Economy category (in the sub-category, when available, titled Construction and Maintenance: Architects).
