Member Web Page Submission Guidelines

Only members of TSOS may exhibit artwork on the TSOS Web site. (So Join TODAY! ). Exhibiting artists get one Web page that contains up to 6 images of sculpture and text information, or a link to your external artist website.

For your own Web page on this site, please email these items to the webmaster (webmaster@tsos.org):

  • Up to 6 images of sculpture by the member artist. For each piece, please include:
    • title
    • medium
    • dimensions (height x width x depth)
    • price (or NFS or POR)

    Please send your images in digital format (.JPG), 72dpi (dots or pixels per inch), with a maximum height of 400 pixels (width depends on proportion). If this is not possible, you may snail mail photos or slides to be scanned, but do understand, that will considerably slow down the process of getting your page online.*

  • A short artist's statement -- what you are trying to achieve in your work.

  • A short bio -- a little bit about your life -- where you were born, how you were raised (relevant to artwork/influences), how you got started in art, etc.

  • A short resumé -- education, major exhibits or awards.

  • Artist's contact information, including galleries and/or the artist's representative(s). *Please note that this information will be published on the Internet. Include at least ONE contact method that interested viewers can use to contact you, whether an e-mail address, phone, fax, or mail address. Be sure to mention to the webmaster if you're including any information you do NOT want published on the Web.

  • Outside E-mail address (optional): If you have an outside email address, we recommend using your TSOS email address (to be encrypted) on your webpage, and forwarding that to your outside email address. Should you begin to experience any spam coming through your TSOS email address, we can simply change the TSOS email address and still have it forward to your outside address. Please be aware that if you use your outside email address unencrypted elsewhere on the web, any spam you get at that email address may not be coming through your TSOS email.

  • Artist's own Web site address, if applicable. A link to your own custom site will be added to your TSOS Web page. You may also choose to only link to your outside web site address, instead of having your own web page on the TSOS web site.

  • Annual Fees: This Web service is included in your $40 TSOS annual membership dues. Please make a check out to TSOS and mail this part to the address below. If you have an excess number of changes to your TSOS Web page, the Webmaster may bill you personally for her excess time. The Webmaster position is practically a volunteer job otherwise.

    *Should you need to send your web page items via snail mail, please contact the webmaster at webmaster@tsos.org for details, with "TSOS Artist Page Submission Request" in the subject line.

Include a self-addressed ADEQUATELY stamped envelope if you want your photos returned to you. If you do not send this envelope, your photos will be handed over to the TSOS board members and added to its file. This file is being developed to help TSOS apply for exhibit space for member shows. You may e-mail submissions for your TSOS Web page to:
the webmaster (webmaster@tsos.org)
