Submitting To The
WHS Website Gallery

Step #1
Each WHS artist member chooses two high quality, 800X600 pixel JPEG images to submit to the WHS Gallery by e-mail submission. If the image is irregularly shaped, ensure the size of the file. The largest dimension needs to be less than 800 pixels (for example 800X500, 800X450, etc.) Digital images are highly preferred, but 35 mm slides may be submitted if digital images are not available.

Step #2
Include information to go with each image including artist name, title of painting, size, medium and description of the piece.

Step#3
Include a brief biography or artist statement (not more than two paragraphs) and your personal e-mail and/or website link.  WHS will be able to reciprocally link our WHS website with our member’s profile.

Step #4
If you have submitted slides, enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for return of slides.

Step #5:
 E-mail your images and all accompanying information to: patrick@allegroassociates.net
or
Mail your two slides and information and SASE to:
WHS Gallery
c/o Patrick Ripley
Allegro Associates
2502 N. 46th Street #8
Phoenix, AZ 85008
