Please look at existing gallery pages as a guide
New Virtual Galleries:
1 – Your Name – exactly as you would like it to show. If you use three names, which is your “last” name (for putting you in correct alphabetical order.)
2 – Bio. A paragraph or two about yourself, your art journey. Send a photo of yourself if you want it included.
3 – How to Contact Me
If you have a website, put that address here. If it has a Contact form, that should be all you need. If you choose to include an email address, you can have me just put it straight, like virtualgallery@seacoastartist.org or have it a little less bot-harvestable – like virtualgallery “at” seacoastartist.org
And personally – I don’t think anybody needs your home address and phone number. But that’s up to you
4 – About My Art
Media: ___________ (ie, watercolor, oil…)
Subjects: _______________ (ie, Landscape, Abstracts…)
For both – ok to list more than one.
5 – My Artwork
Photos of your work. Keep it to twelve or fewer. An ideal number is your seven best. That’s not only for gallery loading time, but it’s also good marketing. For each image:
- Title
- Jpeg or PNG – ideally without frame, straightened, cropped – and resized to 100 dpi. iow, if your image is 9 x 12, the image should be 900×1200 pixels. BUT – if your work is large, reduce the dimensions to no more than 15″ on the longest side. The goal is to match image size with screen sizes. Too large will make your gallery load too slowly.
Note – If you need help with straightening and resizing, I can help – it just might take me longer.
And – let me know which one you want to be the featured image – the one that shows in the master gallery list. If you don’t, I will just pick one.
Virtual Gallery Updates:
- Send new images, as above
- Send list of images to be removed (can be names, screen shot of images…).
- For any current images without titles, send titles.
Send to: virtualgallery@seacoastartist.org
Important Note:
The treasurer will send me a list monthly of newly paid for Virtual Galleries. Once you’ve paid, you are free to send me your information, but I’ll be doing new Virtual Galleries monthly once I’m notified of who’s eligible.
Thanks, Wendy – Your Virtual Gallery Elf
