Below are the best links relating to Celtic art on the web. I know they are good because I've gone to each one and reviewed the site myself. Like many of the people listed below I've always had an interest in Irish culture and art itself. I've created this page as a resource to people with the same likes. This page features five major sections under the Art heading itself: Traditional, Clip Art, Sculpture, Media Arts, Fantastic Art and a special section of Commercial links. I will be adding some content of my own once the enormous task of organizing these links calms down. Feel free to explore and email me for suggestions.
