Director of Artist Relations


Hello!

The purpose of Artist Relations is to strengthen the community spirit as well as network with fellow artists so that we may bring outside opportunities to you, and help you to hone your skills. The Gallery Directors are the first people you should go to regarding your galleries. They are the people you need to make gallery suggestions to, and ask questions about your specific genre, or seek knowledge from. They also act as your lifeline to the administration. They are here to support and listen, and I can tell you we've got incredibly talented, devoted and passionate people on this team, so get to know them!


We wish $y2jenn all the luck in the world in her new position on HD and CEA but we'll miss her greatly!

New gallery directors will be added shortly ( a lot of them) so be patient.

Thank you to everyone that responded to my journal expressing your wants from Artist Relations. I will be addressing all of your concerns and suggestions in the coming week.

The volunteer position of Gallery Director has changed substantially, in that, the position is only for a year as opposed to ongoing. The current gallery directors are grandfathered until July 2008 and the new gallery directors I bring on will be offset by a couple of months so we aren't rotating a ton of people at the same time, however, I feel this allows a better representation of the community and allowance for a greater number of people to enjoy this experience without making the duration daunting and allowing for negative experiences. There are other changes I will be announcing shortly that I think you will find will enhance the way Artist Relations works for you

I am currently working line by line through the submission menu set up to find the glitches that are there. Some category links were set up incorrectly and we are aware and fixing them now. Thank you for reporting the errors

I have noticed and increase in people sending notes to myself or my gallery directors to report policy and copyright violations. Please file help desk tickets for this. My team does not deal directly with violations and it's absolutely necessary to keep running records of instances that occur, so we will direct you back to the help desk to ensure proper protocol. Thank you.
