Information about ATA's Artist Pages
ATA has initiated the Artist Pages program in order to present to the public the work of contemporary artists weaving their own handwoven tapestries. To contact an individual artist about their work, go to the Artist List.
For artists interested in participating in this program, please contact our webeditor at americantapestryalliance.org
Each artist will receive information with your membership packet that gives details on how to submit images for your Artist Pages. If you do not currently have scanned images (.jpg or .gif), which is the format we prefer, then you will have to send good quality color prints to our Web Gallery Manager.
Your Artist Pages will be on-line for a one-year term and will remain there as long as you are a member at any level. You can update your pages once a year at the time of your membership renewal, for as long as you wish to participate as a Circle Club member.
Now, once you've checked the Membership information (either "Join Us" under FAQ pages or "Forms" for renewals), you're ready for the details:
How to participate in ATA's Artist Pages
When you become a Circle member of ATA, as stated above, you will receive a letter in your new member packet that looks like this:

Simply reply to this via email or letter as directed and include the required information. We will do our best to make sure that your Artist Pages have the best presentation possible. However, if you feel that this presentation does not serve you in the way you would like, we will, of course, take your pages off the site.
We look forward to many new pages of tapestry in the coming months.
