Welcome to Website Wednesday!
A common question asked by our AiP Online Photography Students is: where can I exhibit my work? Given the nature of our school, we have a virtual student gallery hosted by Second Life. Pretty neat, eh? This gallery houses regular exhibits of featured student and faculty artwork. It also provides a space that gives our community a chance to interact in a unique environment.
Students and faculty members are encouraged to sign up for a free account with Second Life, join the AIPOD Connections Photo Group and visit the virtual gallery. For more information about AiP Online "Second Life" Student Gallery, please click on the first URL link listed below to download an informational PDF. Now that you know the virtual space exists, be sure to keep an eye out for an exhibition that would suit you. AiP Online is now running a "Call for Entries" for:
