an ARTFILE ONLINE workshop series:
click here to watch the No Artist Left Behind PSA
WPA is reaching out to all of our artist members to make sure they know how to successfully upload their images and information to our online searchable database, the ARTFILE ONLINE.
Two years ago, the ARTFILE ONLINE replaced our physical Artists Slide and Media Registry. Since then, curators, gallery owners, researchers, and collectors have had 24 hour access to our new online registry.
The ARTFILE ONLINE gives each WPA artist their own web page with space for up to 12 images, resume, artist statement and a link to your web site. Don't have a web site yet? Each Artfile online page has a distinct URL which can be used on your resume or business cards.

9x10 MEMBER SHOWS @ WWP GALLERY
Monthly, March 2007 - January 2008
In tribute to the late William Warren Parker’s support for emerging DC artists, his family generously donated space at the William W. Parker (WWP) Gallery– housed in Mickelson’s Fine Art Framing at 629 New York Ave NW - to WPA\C for a new “nine-by-ten” exhibition series: 9 shows of 10 member artists each. These shows provided a new outlet for WPA\C member artists, and each exhibition presented a diverse cross-section of the WPA\C membership to the public, showcasing works in all media.
