One Week Before International Art Show Closes

April 6, 1998 -- The World Art Association's (WAA), "First Member's
Show" on the world wide web, conceived by a San Francisco based internet
art gallery (GALLERIE KONZEPTWERK) that teamed up with an organization
in England (THE PROCESS) to present the first-ever interactive virtual
art exhibition. The exhibition features the work of 50 international
artists from 15 countries. The on-line art exhibition of painting,
sculpture, digital art and photography will be on displayed until this
Friday. Art patrons from around the world can "chat" about the art in a
chat room attached to the show directly to the artists and can even make
purchases. The dates of the event are March 14 - April 10, 1998 at World
Art Association website:

What other's are saying about the World Arts Association show:
" It was a pleasure to visit for a short while and chat with some of the
other artists...All of you who worked so hard to create this event
deserve all our thanks..... will be visiting frequently to look at all
the pics I didn't get to see!" Terry "Hawk" Gould USA

"I must thank you for a very special experience. The virtual opening
arranged so that artists & visitors can talk and view images
simultaneously is an excellent idea! Someone in the chat suggested
opening a separate browser window, to have fullscreen chat & images too.
That worked quite well. It was really great to ask where to find the
work & then see it & talk about it. Leaving out externallinks was
brilliant!" Graham Levi
