WPA announces- NO ARTIST LEFT BEHIND (NALB)
an ARTFILE ONLINE workshop series:

WPA is reaching out to all of our artist members to make sure they know how to successfully upload their images and information to our online searchable database, the ARTFILE ONLINE.

Two years ago, the ARTFILE ONLINE replaced our physical Artists Slide and Media Registry. Since then, curators, gallery owners, researchers, and collectors have had 24 hour access to our new online registry.

The ARTFILE ONLINE gives each WPA artist their own web page with space for up to ten images, resume, artist statement and a link to your web site. Don't have a web site yet? Each Artfile online page has a distinct URL which can be used on your resume or business cards.

Many member artists currently using the ARTFILE ONLINE have reported that they've been contacted for shows or had work sold directly to a buyer through their ARTFILE page. Curators have also embraced the new online system which makes their lives easier with access from any computer.

For those of you who haven't uploaded yet and need help getting started, sign up for one of our upcoming NALB workshops today!

The workshops will cover: Logging into your ARTFILE page, working with digital images, categorizing your work for searches and more!

There are two workshop sessions to choose from:

Monday 7/28 and Tuesday 7/29 from 6:30pm - 8:30pm at WPA headquarters (2023 Mass. Ave NW)

Sessions are open to the first 20 members who sign up.
To register contact Kristina at: kbilonick@wpadc.org

Don't get left behind!

ARTFILE ONLINE Testimonials:

WPA's ArtFile is a wonderful resource. I've used it on several occasions for exhibitions that I've curated. It's easy to search for artists by medium, and the images are large enough to get a feel for the work. It's also a great way to learn about new artists; I've made some great discoveries through ArtFile.

-Jayme McLellan, Director, Civilian Art Projects

I just wanted to write you all to thank you very much for the electronic art file!!! Since it has gone up I have had multiple inquiries regarding my art and a sale of my work to a major hotel chain.

-Michele de la Menardiere, artist
