Farewell

Since our last Traditional update, we have said farewell to STelari and SRudy as part of the Volunteer team.  They are however still as active as ever within our community and we thank them for their hard work and time on the team!

Gallery Makeover Project

Back in early March we started asking you all what kind of changes you'd like to see in regards to the Traditional Art Gallery Tree.  We've had some really great feedback and have even posted an updated revision of our original proposal based on your feedback.  We'd like to give you the chance to have your voice heard before any decisions are finalized so if you have not commented on our Gallery Makeover journal yet, please head on over to it and leave your feedback for us.  Traditional Art Gallery Makeover Updated Proposals

Traditionalists

Traditionalists is a new group aimed at giving the traditional art community their own unique voice by giving the traditionalists a place to gather, organize, and inform others with the help and guidance of the traditional Community Volunteer team. The idea behind this project was to open the channels of communication between the traditional community and the traditional CVs so that we can all work together and develop a main hub for all things traditional.  If you haven't joined this group yet, we'd like to encourage you to do so.
