Resource Library: Publicity articles

Resource Library publicity articles

Publicity articles

Resource Library, an online publication of Traditional Fine Arts Organization (TFAO), publishes, archives and maintains thousands of exhibition publicity articles, often accompanied by related texts and low resolution images. All materials concern American representational art and are published without charge to readers and institutional sources including museums, art centers and historical societies.

Upon Resource Library invitation regarding specific exhibitions, Resource Library sources may send for publication consideration media releases and images plus in-depth related information. Such additional information is often reprinted -- in whole or part -- within this publication's publicity articles to further inform readers. Resource Library publishes, however, no publicity articles concerning student exhibitions or group exhibitions of artist organizations at museums or art centers. Resource Library selectively publishes publicity articles concerning exhibitions of artist organizations' individual members at museums or art centers. Artist organizations include cooperatives, clubs and other membership societies.

Resource Library strives to provide to its readers texts that might not be otherwise be placed and preserved online. Sources and source documents are thoroughly identified and credited; links are provided to institution Web sites and appropriate phone numbers are provided.

TFAO does not inject its own critique or opinions into Resource Library texts.

Before sending texts and images, please read:

Please do not send materials to Resource Library for online publication unless you are the copyright owner or are confident that you have permission from copyright holders to do so.

Resource Library does not charge for publication of articles and essays. Conversely, no payment is made to authors and/or other copyright owners for published texts. Choice of content is not influenced by gifts or sponsorships. Also, this publication does not accept advertising. All texts and images are published online on a permanent basis, subject to Resource Library's policy on errors and omissions. Please also see how Resource Library differs from paper-printed art publications. Resource Library does not provide to its sources of texts and images paper-printed copies of articles and essays published online. Upon request Resource Library will send an email to a source with directions to the online location of published articles and essays.

Unsolicited emails

Resource Library's publisher methodically requests from institutional sources news releases and other texts relating to exhibits of American representational art. Resource Library is receiving, however, a growing amount of emails on many other topics from hundreds of museums and other sources. This volume can overwhelm our capacity to read all of them.

TFAO is careful to keep aware of selected sources' current and upcoming exhibits by reviewing their Web sites periodically to retrieve information. Because of TFAO's method of learning about upcoming and current exhibits, we request that sources please remove tfaoi.org from general media mailing lists.

For more information on methodology of TFAO's request system please see National Calendar of Exhibitions.
