HOW TO APPLY FOR A WEB PAGE

PSNM members of record as of January 31 are eligible to have their own page in our online gallery. The gallery is updated three times a year, in February, June, and October. Your page may include a brief resume, artist's statement, and one to four images of your work. It must also include an email address or other contact information.

The cost of having a web page is $75 per year, payable annually at the time you renew your membership. This fee covers the setup of a new page, including text and up to four correctly formatted digital images (see Digital Image Requirements, below), and allows you to change your images in May and September if you desire at no additional cost. If you wish to update the text during the year, there will be an additional charge of $10 to scan your typewritten text (handwritten text will not scan). A reminder that it's time to update your images will appear in the newsletter.

Members who join PSNM after January 31 may add their gallery page in June or October. The fee for joining in June is $55, and in October, $35. This option is available to new members only. After the first year, pages can be renewed only on an annual basis.

Digital Image Requirements

PSNM currently accepts only digital images which meet the following criteria:

Image size: 600 pixels on longest side
Resolution: 72 dpi
File format: jpg (JPEG)

(If you don't have a digital camera or scanner, or aren't familiar with digital formats, here are some helpful hints. First of all, "digital format" simply means an image that has been converted into a computer file that can be transmitted electronically. Many times your local drug store, Wal-Mart or other similar stores offer the service of taking prints and slides and converting them into a digital format. Also, you might check with your friends and see if they can take a print and scan it into digital format. Perhaps some of your friends may have digital cameras and will take a photo of your art. Of course, we ask that images be professional, and if you are in doubt, you should hire a professional photographer to take your digital images.)
