What's Going on at =ImagersFractalDDs

This past week it had been brought to IFDDs' attention that the group is not allowed to have a print account. It was stated by the admistration to the group that print accounts are not for communities, groups, or clubs, but rather for individual artists to make a profit off their own work. All IFDD print contributors had given explicit permission for the group to sell the prints for donations of dA subscriptions and print accounts to those who couldn't afford them, and prizes for future contests. After this was stated to the print admins they still held their original position. As a result, two of the new staff members, the prints director and assistant, were left without positions. Instead, two new positions were created for them: Gallery Director and Assistant. The IFDD gallery is now open for submissions from ALL fractal artists on deviantART The new Gallery Director and Assistant are:

Gallery Director *genesis1979
Gallery Assistant ~shaun-rules-4eva

IFDD hopes to have a thriving gallery featuring fractal deviants using all programs and of all levels of experience.
