TRACEY!!!
Since emailing you about this page Monday night, something happened to the form’s content. I’m not freaking out but it was a lot of work (I did it off the clock, but of course I don’t want to duplicate if unnecessary. I’ve logged in to tweak that page for JUST basic website submissions, whether for artists, instructors, or just for any instances in which someone needs to submit content for the website. So hopefully when I reboot now, the form will reappear. If not, sorry to send you a half-done looking page. I’ll fix it asap. M
Artist Web Page Submissions
If you have read the Web Pages for Our Artists page and are interested in the additional online representation outlined there, this page will help you move forward to the next steps. If you haven’t yet completed the approval process for submitting your work for exhibition, please visit the Artists Submission & Intake page. There, you’ll find the steps for scheduling an appointment with Tracey to show her your work and discuss your exhibiting goals.
All Artists Listed On Our Site
Once you’ve been accepted as an in-house or exhibiting artist, it's time to add your presence to our website. Under the section of the form labeled “For All Artists”, you should submit one photo that best represents your artistic style. This photo should be in the highest resolution possible, ideally the size that comes right off the camera. Along with his image, you may also include a link to your website or social media page where you market your art, if applicable. You should also indicate whether you should be listed on our In-House Artists page, or to our Exhibiting Artists page. Formatting instructions for your photo filename appears at the bottom of this page, along with helpful notes.
If you're satisfied that the link provided points to a page that represents your current work very well, then it's not necessary for you to do anything else. If you'd like to have more online representation than you currently have, read on.
For Web Page Upgrades
If you have elected to add more information to our site, artists choosing the Tier 1 options may begin the process by submitting initial details using the fields under the heading “For Artists Adding a Tier 1 Web Page” in the form on this page.
You will be contacted to confirm receipt of your details and to discuss a timeline for your new page.
This process is in development and soon more thorough options will be available for those seeking a Tier 2 or Tier 3 upgrade.
For now, those interested in the Tier 2 or Tier 3 options should indicate this in the form and when you are contacted, submission details will be shared with you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions in the provided box at the bottom of the form, if yours isn’t answered here or on the Web Pages for Our Artists page.
Add-ons and upgrades are available by request. We may provide a list of popular add-ons here, if the need appears.
Filename Format for
Photo Submissions
Submitted photos should be renamed to include your 3 initials plus the inventory number used in your gallery submission, along with a few descriptive keywords. You may also include your name and/or the original camera-assigned filename.
Example:
Your name is Jane Anne Doe and you're submitting a photo of your painting of a Carolina wren perched on driftwood against a blue sky. This is the third of three paintings you are submitting to the gallery for exhibition. Your camera identified the photo as IMG_2846.jpg.
If you create a copy of the artwork photo you're submitting, you would change the filename in the manner of one of the following:
painting-carolina-wren-driftwood-jad003-IMG_2846.jpg
jane-doe-artwork-bird-blue-sky-jad003-IMG_2846.jpg
greensboro-artist-jane-doe-brown-bird-jad003_2846.jpg
The "jad003" tells The Marshall Muse Gallery whose painting and which one it is. The descriptive words make your image accessible in Google (or other search engine) image search results when someone searches either for your name or any of the keywords you included that describe some aspect(s) of your artwork. And keeping the final "2846" at the end enables you to connect this image with the "IMG_2846.jpg in your personal files, should you ever need to locate the original.
