Larry Berman commented on Julia Szabo's blog post Allow us to introduce ourselves - Application Management for Artists, Promoters and Jurors

"Hi Larry, Thank you so much for your feedback. The image upload is under the Resume tab in Photo Library. In Resume view you can preview images exactly how the Jury will see under "Jury's View". The other systems…"

"Finally found where to upload an image but it was asking for too much information before it let me upload it. But now I can't find it. And after it uploaded it only showed me a partial image cutting off the bottom half until I clicked and…"

"You can call me tomorrow and I'll go over it with you. Like I pointed out, the most important part of a jury process for artists is their images. There needs to be a tab for images or image bank or portfolio or whatever you want to call it, but…"

"Hi Larry, you can upload images under the Resumes tab: either by uploading to Photo Library or direct into the Resume. We use Filestack for image uploads that are stored on Amazon cloud servers. Filestack is a modern technology and is fully…"

"I signed up to see about the image specification but I can't find a place to upload images. Maybe it's not ready yet. But you need to understand that jurying and acceptance to art shows is all about the images, not the words typed into the…"

"As an expert in photography as well as computer systems, I shall make a few comments. 1) viewing my jury images on their own, home computer monitor is a bad idea. A) Their monitors are most likely not calibrated to accurately display my…"

"As you can see from this discussion: https://www.artfairinsiders.com/forum/topics/remote-jurying-what-do-we-need-to-know I do not have knowledge and am skeptical of off site jurying as to how would it benefit the artists. I believe it would…"

What I learned as a Volunteer at Sausalito Art Festival

Posted on September 4, 2019 at 7:30pm 4 Comments 2 Likes
