HOW TO JOIN THE MEMBERS' GALLERY
|
Palm Beach Watercolor Society, Inc.
Join the PBWS Members' Gallery today! Expand the horizons of your artistic promotion while
helping to support this exceptional art organization!
MEMBERS' GALLERY PAGE
Join the technological age and display your creations on the World Wide Web by adding your work to
the PBWS Members' Gallery! All members, whether they own a
computer or not, can have their own Gallery web page.
Each page in the Members' Gallery includes six (6) pictures of your work, a bio/artist's statement, your email
address and a link to your own web site or one (1) already existing web page. Your work can
be submitted as either print pictures or digital files (.jpg or .gif). Slides are not accepted.
View a sample member's page to see the
format of the Members' Gallery. The format includes two (2) medium and four (4) small pictures
of your work. All six (6) pictures, when clicked on, will display a full sized version of the
picture. The pictures on your Gallery page are optimized to ensure the page will load quickly,
without sacrificing quality.
Your Members' Gallery page will have an easy to remember, unique web address, i.e.
www.pbwatercolor.org/yourname and can also include a photo of yourself. Your own Gallery page is a wonderful tool
in providing new prospective collectors with a professional way to view your artwork at their convenience.
So, write up your artist's statement, gather six (6) pictures of your finest artwork and get ready to show off
your creations to the world! Your own Members' Gallery page costs only $65 per year. Updates are $25 each
and include any or all copy or pictures. A portion of these fees go to the PBWS.
If you have regular print pictures (4x6, 5x7, 8x10) of your work, you can send them and your other information
by regular mail. Please include a SASE if you want your pictures returned.
Email Webmaster for mailing address.
If you have the pictures in ".jpg" or ".gif" format on your computer, you can attach and send them along with your
other information by email. Digital files
should be at least 400 pixels (no larger than 800) in either width or height.
Either way you send it, please be sure to include title and size of each piece of your artwork. Also, identify
which two (2) pictures you prefer to be used as the medium sized ones.
After receiving your pictures and information, your Members' Gallery page should be on-line within 72 hours.
Once the page is up and you've approved it, an invoice (2 copies) will be sent to you. You then
send your payment (with a copy of the invoice) to the PBWS Treasurer. An invoice will also be sent to you
each year for renewal.
MEMBERS' WEB SITE LINK
Already have your own web site? Add your link to the Artist Web Sites portion of the Members' Gallery. The
cost is only $30 per year, with a portion going to the PBWS. Once your link has been added to the Member's
Gallery, an invoice (2 copies) will be sent to you. You then send your payment (with a copy of the invoice)
to the PBWS Treasurer. An invoice will also be sent to you each year for renewal.
Your link in the Members' Gallery gives you the opportunity to increase the traffic to your web site. Present
our visitors, art lovers interested in Water Media, with a way to continue their exploration for collectible
Watercolor artwork.
