WOULD you WANT a WONDERFUL WIKI?
If you can say that five times fast (and are a member of aceartinc.) you have the member privilege to gain web space with your own personal page on the aceart wiki website!
A wiki is like a Wikipedia and is an online network of artist’s pages that can feature a bio, a few photos of artwork, links to a website, videos, and more! The wiki is growing with artists everyday and we are always welcoming new contributions.
If you would like to check out the wiki please see:
Interested in joining the wiki? Please contact Tanya at communications@aceart.org or call the aceart office. Feel free to book an appointment with Tanya as soon as possible. She will be available to help with the technical side of the wiki.
aceartinc. wants to be a digital hub for info on our members, some of the finest artists in the country. Help us make it happen.
Wiki definition (from wikipedia.org):
A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis.
Purpose/Vision
• To provide a user-generated content online community for ace art.
• To provide free web space for members of ace art where they can show their art and develop an online presence (if they don’t already have one, or to supplement the one they have).
• To be an online reference for information about Winnipeg artists by expanding on the ace art web site and offering more information about our community to others.
• To be a space for generating dialogue about art by artists in the community.
Community Building
Part of the idea behind having an ace art wiki is to get all of its members into a venue where they can promote their art. Because it’s an online venue, the ace art wiki will also act as a resource for those looking for information about these artists. The wiki can expand and grow to include peer-reviewing for artists, support visuals, video, and link out to other sites for references, or for other shows member artists may be doing elsewhere. Most artists will likely already have an artist web site, but with a wiki, all members can edit each other’s sites, and there is also lots of room for forum discussion, and information sharing. For example, if artists want to get people in the community interested in a cause, say rallying around Bill C-62, the wiki is a great way to stimulate community discussion and how it will affect visual artists in particular. This is just one more forum for artists to connect with each other.
