The NYU Web Gallery {http://www.nyu.edu/nmc/} includes exhibits by NYU students, faculty, and related arts organizations. The Web Gallery provides NYU artists with a way to present their work on the Internet's World-Wide Web, and can include text, stills, sound, video, and animations. Works shown can be scanned from traditional media, or created directly in a digital form.

The Gallery went online in the late spring of 1995 with student exhibits from the Tisch School of the Arts and the School of Education. Included are exhibits of work in photography, fine art, interactive telecommunications, and dance. Other exhibits -- computer animation, film, and additional fine-art and photography work -- are planned. The Web Gallery is managed by the ACF Arts Technology Group as part of its support for NYU's participation in the New Media Center program. We have created a number of templates for display formats, and have sponsored workshops, so that artists with even the most basic computer skills to create exhibits of their work.

Faculty members from programs in the arts interested in exhibiting student or personal work on the World-Wide Web can contact me by phone at 998-3041 or by e-mail at the address below. [ C ]
