Welcome to new gallery members Annie Davis, Ann Adams, Melody Hay and Farmer's & Merchant's Gallery on the square in Pilot Point, Texas. Only one of their official DallasArtsRevue web pages is up yet, though there's a page describing the art, building and history of the Farmer's and Merchants. See the story about our visit there last November. As always link from names on this page to pages showing more of members' art.

Member News is on the Calendar Page where members' listings are marked by a member notation. Members who send show, event and news information to our latest email address on the Contact Us page are linked every chance we get. I even sometimes use Members' work to illustrate abstruse notions on ThEdblog. The more links to your name online, the better Googled you are, and the more popular your Member Page.

Whether they're new or have many years of exhibiting experience, artists who get the most out of DallasArtsRevue Memberships are those who show their work and let us know every time they do.

Member pages are a great opportunity to be seen by people who matter — our readers, many of whom are art professionals and exhibition organizers.

DARts Friends and Supporting Members are eligible for our member shows. We had a one-night show in October 2006. A completely unobjective review considers the edgier pieces in Big As Night, Too. Everything about our first DARts show is linked from the 1026 Tranquilla Index.

at 14th Street next July

In July 2008 DallasArtsRevue and Invited Guests will show at 14th Street Gallery in Plano. That exhibition now has a name (at least temporarily; I like it. We'll see. There's more about the show scattered through ThEdblog, and there's now a FIERCE page devoted to the show. We have enough artists in the show and are no longer accepting more.

I am currently scheduling studio visits and/or alternate "show me what you got" sessions for May and June.

As the name implies, I'll lean heavily upon work with a certain edge, boldness and style.

All media are eligible, and I am, as always, especially interested in larger sculpture, and there will be a strong preference for work I have never seen before. Work in this show must not have been previously exhibited. I want to avoid a greatest hit kind of show.

Beware of scams. If you get emails from South America or Nigeria or Irving, Texas promising to send you a "certified cashier cheque" (or other spelling) for your art or your boat or your Sousaphone, pay attention. It is very possibly — if not likely — they are attempting to scam you.

The classic format involves them sending you a check for more than you agreed to charge, which you are to take to a bank, where you are expected to cash the (probably bogus) check and send the difference to the thieves who are preying on your desire to sell your stuff.

DallasArtsRevue member artists have been targeted. Others will also be targeted.

That said, many people see something on the internet and assume it is for sale, even if no price is mentioned. In the last few years, I've been attaching prices to review stories, for artist information. If DARts Supporting Members wish to put prices on their work on their Member Pages, that's okay with me, although everybody has so far demurred the opportunity.

Back to people on the net being confused — they flail about attempting to buy it or multiples of it. There are legitimate buyers of art out there, and they may contact you, and they sometimes will do business with you. We've had several contacts develop into exhibition opportunities, a couple of one-person shows and other opportunities.

But pay attention. Google the phrasing they use. I googed "certified cashier cheque" and found More internet scams, Wedding Photographer, Musical Instrument Sales and Fraud Attempts on your Classified Advertisements. Thieves are out there, and if they involve you in their scams, all the easier for them. And difficult for you. Be careful out there.

Free Photos for Member Pages

If you join DARts as a Supporting Member, my photographs of your work for your DARts Membership web page (only) are free. All you have do is set up an appointment. If you live close, I'll visit you. If you're farther away, you can bring your work here or we'll set something up. It only ever takes a few minutes.

There may be a few more details about the process of me taking photographs of your work that you'll need or want to know, for that check out the Photograph Your Work section of the How to Join DallasArtsRevue page linked just below.

Note: Part of my delight in having Supporting Member is the opportunity to show new work by some of the best and most diverse artists in Dallas. Let me photograph your most recent work to keep your pages up to date.

Read the whole (it tells you everything you'll need to know) How to Support DallasArtsRevue.com page or just the new, easy instructions (in purple) to get your DARts Membership started.

E-mail me if your work on your page hasn't changed in awhile. I often want to show new work by members here and on the cover, and I'm much more inclined to do that if I have new photographs of recent work. I appreciate your financial support, but it's great joy to show off interesting new work on these pages by Dallas artists.

Thanks,
J R Compton

including some DallasArtsRevue Supporting Members.

Members without pages are not linked. Some members simply want to support this site, and others haven't got around to getting their work photographed. Some put that experience off for years.

Resubscribing members are eligible to have one additional image on their page each time they resubscribe within their old subscription period.
