Index of Supporting Member Pages 

Kathy Boortz   Spotted Sandpiper   photo by J R Compton

One of the great joys of doing this site is that I get to see new art by really good artists. And sometimes I get to update a member's page with work that blows me away. I put either the newest member's work, the member with the newest work or the work I like best that I've seen in awhile here on top of this very popular page. So very glad some DallasArtsRevue Supporting Members still update their pages sometimes. I try to make it worth their while.

DallasArtsRevue is financially supported by the artists of Dallas, Texas and other places. Each pays $100 for the first year and gets six images on their Member Page, and $75 each additional year, with one additional image per year. Artists with member pages have been contacted by curators for participating in exhibitions, and a few have even had solo shows because their work wes seen here.

See How to Join info below or the simple How to Join page. Then there's the complex How to Join page that will tell you everything you will need to know to be an active and participating member of DallasArtsRevue.com

All artwork on this site is copyright 2011 or before by the originating artist. No reproduction or approximation of these works may be created in any medium for any use without specific written permission from the artist. Please do not copy the art. Make your own.

DARts Member Notices

Warning

Someone from a print-maker in L.A. has contacted at least one DARts Member. It is one of those places — both national and local — that make inkjet and other kinds of prints of your work, then sell them to whomever they can. These places like to sell copies of your work. They say they will share their bounty with you. But they tend to neglect to tell you exactly how many prints they make and sell — or they just lie about it. There are at least two — probably a half dozen or more — such places right here in Dallas and the Metromess.

The problem is that there is no way to find out how many copies they make. They'll tell you what you want to hear, then print up a batch, hawk them to their customers (whom you'll never find out about) and give you a pittance, saying they were only able to sell a couple of their prints, or none at all. You'll be lucky if their customers ever see or hear your name.

They may even want you to pay for the prints. Beware. There are snakes in the grass. There are numerous reasons not to trust these and other such companies. It is far better to sell the original than lose out to these charlatans for copies of your work.

How you can help me prepare exhibition prospectii

I have begun saving large, high resolution versions of images for member pages, because I know Community Colleges and other art spaces will need a CD/DVD of such for applications for exhibitions in their spaces. Normally, I replace large, full-resolution images with the littler ones I actually use on your member pages, to save space on my hard drives. When enough people update their pages with new images, so I have a dozen or so high-resolution images, one each for a dozen members, I will begin to apply to the DCCCD art galleries for possible, curated DallasArtsRevue Member Exhibitions in their spaces.

The newer your work I have high-resolution copies of, the better. And the better our chances for an eventual show. These processes are notoriously slow, but this is a beginning. Of course, actual participation in any such show will be entirely up to your discretion. This disk will simply be to show the quality of work our members make.

Member-page JPEGs can now be used elsewhere free …

I have finally evolved a significant change in my policy for your other uses of the free photographs of your work that I make for your member pages: You may now use them anywhere online if, and only if, you include a legible credit immediately adjacent (over, under or along the side) to the image stating: "DallasArtsRevue.com photo by J R Compton."

This offer is only to bona fide, paid-up current Supporting Members of DallasArtsRevue. Reproduction of full-resolution image files in sizes larger than the 777 (for horizontal images) or 555 pixels wide (for vertical images), standard Member Page size will still be negotiable, but I am not seeking to make any profit on these endeavors. I would much rather have credit to this publication.

We urge any Dallas artist — and extra especially DallasArtsRevue Supporting Member — to send us calendar information — including shows, talks or participation in community (your art on a wall, online, on TV, radio or wherever, please let us know. See the Community section of our growing Art Calendar to see the wide variety of information about Dallas-area artists we provide.

To get a calendar listing for Dallas-area artists showing in Dallas or anywhere else, either carefully parse the information according to our specifications in the pink box below OR email your info to Anna, and she'll put it in the right order. Pink-box-compliant notices go in almost immediately. Others take awhile.  

Member News is on the Calendar Page where members' listings are marked by a member notation. Members who send, event and news information to our latest email address on the Contact Us page are linked every chance we get. The more links that point to you or your member page here, the more likely it is that people who google your name will find you online.

We have seriously updated our very popular (third most popular of all our pages) Schools & Classes & Galleries page, and if you, or if you know anybody who offers art-related classes in North Central Texas or teaches at a school we haven't listed yet, we want to list all of them on that page. Send info to Anna Palmer at graphicanna@sbcglobal.net
 

Nice as it is to have so many members join and not bother having a member page, I really dig having new work on this site that I did not pick. Please, if at all possible, do your dada duty and send me six recent images for your member pages. If you make them a couple megs each, that would be about perfect. Please name each by your name and title only. Either attach them to an email (all in one is good) or send me a CD. Either way, send full-resolution, full-sized images of at least a megabyte each, and do not sharpen them.

NEW MEMBERS
All the gritty-nitty details about joining DallasArtsRevue are on the new and simplified How to Join page. (with no snide references, curmudgeonly comments or brusque barbs)

If you find even that page difficult, no problem.
Email Anna at graphicanna@sbcglobal.net
and she will be happy to make it easy to join. 

Send checks made out to J R Compton to

Anna Palmer,
8601 Park Lane #712,
Dallas, TX 75231

If you are up to it, the Editor strongly suggests you read the page of everything you'll ever need to know about joining & participating in DallasArtsRevue, because it contains all that information that, if you knew it already, wouldn't come back to haunt you when you do something weird and J R sends it back for you to do again.

Meanwhile, this Members Index page always has the latest DallasArtsRevue info, like J R's latest offer [below] to let you use free member page pictures elsewhere, including online, if you credit them immediately adjacent to the image in legible type: "DallasArtsRevue.com photo by J R Compton"

You may also find these stories worth considering:

How to Photograph Your Art
How to Start Showing Your Work  
How to Design & Distribute Invitational Postcards

And someday I'll write How to Promote Your Art and maybe even How to Publish Your Own Web Site.
 

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 when they do..

Member pages are a great opportunity to be seen by people who matter — our readers, many of whom are art professionals, curators and exhibition organizers. Many members have been invited into shows simply because a curator saw their work here.

Send us info about your exhibitions or sales events and attach an image.

DARts Members who exhibit work and send us all the pink box info, so we can list it and link your names to your member pages, succeed at this game better than those who just let their pages sit there.

Active members get more hits on their member pages, too.

The purpose of this game is to get you and your art known.

When you have a show, let us know all about it, so we can help you promote it. That promotion will drive visitors to your pages. And that increased popularity will help you be more easily Googled.

Free Photos for Member Pages

If you join DARts as a Supporting Member, my photographs of your work for your DARts Membership web page are free. All you have do is set up an appointment on an afternoon when the sun in shining. 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 get to show 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

See the Index of People & Places for visits with artists,
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. It's certainly easier for me that way, but I miss having new artists showing new work that I didn't pick.

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

The Site Map lists + links most of the 1200+ DARts pages.
