In discussions with artist members and the Art Alliance Board, there
seems to be a strong feeling that our web site should feature some
information and images about our
artists. The Board has approved a
pilot project which will be reviewed in six months.
We will include on the
web site any interested artist
member who has
had his or her work juried into at least one of our Juried Shows in the past
three years. The listing will include a short bio, two digital images of art work,
and a link to your own web site. There will be a fee of $25 per year.
The fee
is waived for artists who have taught Art Alliance classes in
the past
two years.
If you are interested in being included in this listing please call the
Art Alliance office.
Our office wireless
network can now provide wireless access in the Art Center.
Teachers who
want to use their laptops in class to access the Internet for
images,
etc., may ask in the office for the password -- the network is
secure.
