The CaFÉ team is looking back on another significant year for art exhibitions, public art projects, sculpture walks, and more! We always look forward to seeing what new opportunities are being created for artists across the U.S. and internationally. We are also looking back at all the improvements that were made to the site. In July, we made it possible for artists to submit online links for their video or audio submissions, making applying even easier. We also added conditional logic for application questions to help administrators collect more detailed information from artists. In November, we added a feature that allows jurors to zoom in on artwork images, improving the evaluation experience. We plan on adding many more updates in the coming year; follow along on our product updates page!
As we look ahead to a new year for making it easier for organizations to create calls for entry and for artists to find them, we invite you to look back on our review of 2022.
