Websites/Publications
Special thanks to Chris Jackson for sharing
about two great websites (Creative Spirits Photography & Veith Street
Gallery) he manages and created with weebly.com.
Creative Spirits Photography
In addition to promoting the photography
of the members of the Creative Spirit Photographers photo club, which
has existed since February 2012, the website provides videos, articles and
links to help its members and other interested photographers become better or
just learn new things to help them in their photography.
Veith Street Gallery
The purpose of the website is to promote
the Gallery and its upcoming events/exhibits/programs as well
as the art of the Creative Spirit East collective of artists, in its
many forms. (The Veith Street Gallery Studio Association supports artists
with disabilities and related challenges).
ALSO...
The Overcast
A new and exciting print and online publication (published
and edited by Chad Pelley and his team) on Newfoundland arts, culture,
lifestyles and more! “…The Overcast aims to be this voice, from coverage on
local artists and entrepreneurs, to our growing food, retail, and academic
culture. In addition to the ten sections of the monthly paper,
TheOvercast.ca posts fresh and exclusive content on weekdays.”
