Welcome to the Deloney Newkirk Galleries blog. Its a part of our new internet presence designed to offer you a richer experience when you visit us on the web. The blog will be a place you can check regularly to get the latest gallery news, information about the Santa Fe scene plus comments on the art world in general.
Frankly, I find some gallery websites static and even boring. Having just completed a 90 day process to get our redesigned site live, I know why - it is a major commitment and an incredible amount of work to make a website interesting. But we feel we owe it to our clients and our artists to make it a great place to visit so we are focused on three things:
• Change Is Good: I dislike visiting a site and seeing the same information again and again. We won’t do that. We’ll update the site often to reflect the latest information and show the newest work from our artists as quickly as we receive it.
• Technology Is Good: As new technologies become available we intend to use them. We’re excited to be one of the first gallery websites in the nation to offer video with our new DNTV feature. Here you can watch art videos including artist profiles, interviews and special features. Warning - DNTV is addictive, so if you are a total art fanatic be prepared to spend some time. The popcorn is optional, personally, I recommend a nice merlot.
• Its All About You: Visitors to our galleries told us what they would like to see and we listened. So we’ve added new search functions that give you several different ways to look for artwork. We have also added a feature called, “My Collection” that lets you save artwork in a special area of the site reserved just for you. We’re serious about making the site a place you want to visit often so if you have suggestions let us hear from you.
Okay enough about us except to say I hope you like our new site. Since you’ve been kind enough to read this first blog here’s a treat - a video of artist Il Lee who creates lyrical abstractions with just a ballpoint pen. Enjoy.
