🎨 VISIONARY ART GALLERY
VISIONARY ART GALLERY Website rebuilding project
We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank! We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
meaning, there really is no "WE", I am on my own here!
Here are a couple of screenshots from our Home Page
Aside from 500+ artists, there are also many other pages that need to be reworked. Yesterday I spent considerable time for example to redo the essay about the VIENNA SCHOOL OF FANTASTIC REALISM - and while it looks good already, there are many anchor tags for footnotes that still need fixing.
Some of the artists pages have been done, but most still have that gaping hole where once a Flash slide show was embedded. Even with Videos: there were old YouTube embed codes, also based on Flash, that similarly are just a blank spaces, since YouTube is HTML5 now.
(It gets updated monthly)
One of the finished artist pages is our own Steemian Peter Gric @gric - check out his page here (click the screenshot):
Several other artists pages are also done, but the bulk still need a lot of work. Maybe I am too stubborn to let go, but I had started this project in 2009, and it is my baby.
I will do anything to fix it and bring it up to standard.
This so rocks. I own a brick-and-mortar visionary gallery in Austin and I whole-heartedly support this message. I can't wait to see what manifests!!!!! Sorry my up vote was weak, I think I over extended myself liking some of your other posts.
That is cool - you should browse the website anyway, at the very least you get each artist with at least a image and link to his/her website. Better yet, I have a second site that is less affected by these changes where you can see a lot of good work (and the images under Featured Artists link to the respective artist pages in the VAG) - check it out:
VISIONARY ART EXHIBITION
this is amazing, can we join this website also
I am swamped at the moment with just updating the site, which will take me at least until Summer, but basically it is a private network of select artists of our genre (mostly painters and sculptors) and not open to the public. Though there are over 500 artists on it, I know all of them well, and they know each other well. One or the other group exhibit together etc.
surly I will visit it
