IMAGE PREPARATION for the NAA Website:
As a member of the NAA, you are provided one web page. We will gladly post six (6) photos of your work as well as your Bio or Artist statement.
Digital image files must meet the following specifications:
- Please adjust your photos the way you want them to appear on the web i.e. make it a little lighter
- We recommend you crop your photos so the frames do NOT show – you want your work to be the “show”
- JPG files only
- Resolution of 72 DPI
- JPG compression quality of 12 (or the highest quality setting)
- Here is a source to resize your images webresizer.com
- NAA will resize your photos for the website. We may also crop your images for formatting purposes for use in the Slide Show on the website.
In addition to submitting photos of your art, it is helpful if we know what media and the dimensions
- Painting

LABELING YOUR IMAGES:
We only need your title of the image AND your last name. Here is an Example of how it should look: Title (your last)Name.jpg. The NAA may have to resize and crop the images to conform to the format constraints. The file name may not include characters such as #, $, &, periods or other similar characters as part of the file name. Please note that the file name will be the name under your photo on the website.
Artist Biography:
When submitting your entries, you may want to provide a short bio, written in the third person. Tell us a little bit about yourself: your artistic training, your artistic inspiration, media choice, any special techniques used, any prior exhibitions… anything that you might like our patrons and visitors to know about you.
