Instructions for Artists
To have a Gallery Page you must be current on membership dues. Current members wishing to submit web content for the Gallery should provide the following:
- Images of 3 paintings (maximum). Contact Webmaster if you cannot provide digital images of paintings.
- A text (*.txt) file giving the title, original size (identify which is the width), and medium for each painting. Be sure to identify the jpeg file name which corresponds with each painting.
- Include in the text file your Artist Statement, website address &/or email address. The Artist Statement can be a brief paragraph or two about you, your painting &/or philosophy. ACA maintains the right to restrict the length and content.
- After cropping to actual size, adjusting contrast, adjusting color, etc. for your original image; save an image for the web using the following format:
- BASELINE Standard JPEG (*.jpg), maximum quality compression. Do not save as a Progressive JPEG.
- Color mode: RGB (preferably sRGB)
- Resolution: 72 pixels/inch (ppi)
- Save the image as the actual painting size unless that creates a file size greater than 1MB. Alternatively, save the image where the largest picture dimension (width or height) is 600 pixels. Webmaster will adjust image size for best fit on Gallery Page.
