Ok, so I’m thinking I am gonna try something new here at *NFotM and see if this works for all of our watchers, new fractalists and senior fractalists and even our resource fractalists.

The thing that we will be doing affects the submission of art to the club gallery; from now on (1 September 2008) and to further comply with the collections vs. submissions that the site is encouraging for clubs; we will be only requesting our members/watchers to submit artwork to the club if you would like it to be featured by the club, all other artwork will still be ‘d by the club as you upload it and it is Fractal Art to be put in the categorized folders in the club fav’s.

General club leadership art will also be fav’d occasionally, and so will related stamps that is related to fractals and it’s members.

Guidelines regarding pieces to submit for the *Featured* spot in the club are as follows: Watchers, New Fractalists and Senior Fractalists are all welcome to submit still the two pieces in a given month, however, it will be up to the Admin, V.Admin and Gallery Manager (which is currently vacant and available for application by club members) to determine which piece will be featured by the end of that month according to how many submissions have been received and what quality is perceived by the club leadership. The rest of the submissions will go into a folder designated to be journalled as a tribute piece to display their artwork in a public forum style manner. So it will still be viewed, just in a different way. This is the club’s way of enacting a more proactive way to ‘romote’ our club’s member’s art. We will also be running a possible news article highlighting all of those whom we’ve journalled for a three month period.

Our New Fractalist feature article will be slightly changed as well as of today’s date. We will be featuring one artist and it will be still one female or male artist that fall under the same guidelines as before; however, it will only be one at a time and every other month for each gender and will feature more of their art if they have enough in their gallery to choose from.

If there are activities and events you would like to see the club do and host, especially in our chat room, please don’t hesitate to note the club and we’ll start collecting your desires for that and put some really awesome events and activities together for your participation ok…you guys and gals are great out there, we wouldn’t be a club with out you…so thanks and much appreciation to you all …YOU ROCK!!
