WHS Website Gallery Update Guidelines
The WHS Online Gallery will be updated three times each calendar year, at the end of February, July, and October. If for some reason you would like to update your images or have not yet sent images, you may email them at any time. Receipt will be acknowledged and your images will be held until the next scheduled update.
Digital Submissions Only – Do Not Send Slides
You can submit new or replacement images to the WHS Gallery in one of two ways:
1. Attach digital images to an e-mail and send to: patrick@allegroassociates.net.
The goal is to send high quality digital images so your work can be optimized for display in the new online gallery. The file type should be JPEG (which has a .jpg file name extension). Exact specifications can vary.
But as a guide, your images should be no more than 1500 pixels on the longest side. A good file size would be between 1.5 Mb and 100 Kb. Patrick Ripley at Allegro Associates will resize and optimize your image for online display.
Each image file should be named with your name and the painting title (a dash with word space either side between name and painting title):
FirstnameLastname-Painting Title.jpg
In the body of the e-mail include your name, painting titles, painting image dimensions and medium.
2. Burn two high quality images with the same specifications as above to a disc. Label the painting images before burning to the file name format shown above.
Include on a separate piece of paper along with your disc the following information:
artist name, painting titles, painting image dimensions and medium.
