Hung,
Have you ever thought about having a "Release Discussion" section on the boards? I think it would be great to have a section that deals solely with the release of prints/giclees etc. Thoughts?

isn't this covered in the b/s/t type area? it's broken out by publishers; ebay; private sellers; etc and folks have been posting in those threads if they've had comments.

There's another art enthusiast forum i'm a part of and they have a section dedicated strictly to releases by vendors. It's actually pretty cool because it basically is a guide to any and all prints/giclees coming out. |

Yes I have toyed with the idea before but that was when the forum was just beginning. Now that there are more people perhaps it's time to revisit the idea. There is however a section entitled:
Galleries, Publishers & Artists
(direct sales, available inventory, print releases etc.)
This is where people usually post print releases OR on the artist thread. What do you guys think? Do we need a completely different section?

Seems it would be rather repetitive since you already have the Galleries, Publishers & Artists (direct sales, available inventory, print releases etc.) section.

Is it possible maybe to see about doing a sticky for galleries or artists who have a weekly or monthly release

What do you guys think? Do we need a completely different section? Personally i think it would be a good thing for everyone. I visit a particular forum/site for this reason only. It's a simple one click on the section to see what the latest news is in regards to release dates etc. Granted all of this info is available here too, but it takes a bit more digging and effort to find it. Not a big deal, but i assume that convenience is a huge plus when it comes to forum members seeking info on artists. |

I believe it woud create too much repetition also. with the existing releases thread, I think we already run the risk of not updating information in the artist's thread already... to have 3 paths of information seems a bit much. i'm not sure how others check updates to the forum, but I find the 100 posts button catches everything for me.

my two cents: i think as a group we just need to be sure we're vigiliant about making sure that threads are started in the right areas - ex: naturally everyone carried on the discussion pertaining to audrey's latest print in audrey's thread but it could have been started or moved to the appropriate forum already provided. As a group we just need to start utilizing the forums available to us on this board as they were designed. i just added a sylvia ji print release to re-kick it off |

If we utilize a print forum for prints and the shows and events forum for shows...then there's not much to talk about in the artist thread. Then as the shows & events threads and print threads get lost off the first page it's hard to find. I'm thinking to link all the show threads at least to the first page of all artist pages. Now if we do decide on release section i could actually make a subforum in the gallery, publisher, and artist section... |

really? i think there's plenty to talk about in the artist forums - new pieces previewed, general news, blog updates, sightings, etc. (including the print releases - as long as there's an official thread in the other forum). incidentally, i just added Brian M. Viveros' newest print to the publishers/gallery/artists forum |

another thought, we could add high profile print releases to the calendar as well?

Hehe, i thought someone would ask that. I guess it would one in which there's a chance that it will sell out before everyone who wants one can get one? Also needs to have a specified date for release. |

Okay, I'm starting a Limited Editon ie print release subforum in the Marketplace Board. Please post any further print releases there. Also please try and be specific in your title as to what the name of print is as well as release date whenever possible. Thanks.
Also, I will be adding some print releases to the Calendar from now on.
