A Note from Scott
the gallery at kelbyone
If you caught our latest live Members-Only Webcast, you already know that one of our big initiatives for 2017 is building on and expanding the community aspects of KelbyOne. One of the things I’m most excited about is “The Gallery at KelbyOne.” This is an idea that my awesome wife Kalebra came up with as a way to raise up some of the talented members of KelbyOne—artists and photographers who might not otherwise have the opportunity to have an actual gallery showing.
This isn’t an online gallery; this is a traditional art gal- lery, constructed at our home offices, where we’ll print and frame the images and display them on the gallery walls. The deadline for KelbyOne members to submit their work for consideration was January 15, 2017. The winner will be announced on The Grid on February 1, 2017. We hope you submitted your work, and we wish you the best of luck!
We’ll fly the featured artist and a guest roundtrip to our headquarters in Florida to attend their own gallery opening, with a wine and cheese recep- tion, followed by an interview with the artist about their work, their images on display, and about them personally. This interview will be streamed live to
KelbyOne members around the world (and afterward we’ll ship the printed images to the featured artist, with our compliments).
The best news is—this isn’t a one-time thing. This is an ongoing project and we’ll be featuring other artists (with subjects ranging from photography to illustrations to fine art created in Photoshop) all year long. We’re so excited about this project and the opportunities it can bring to some of the talented artists and photographers in our membership.
Of course, The Gallery at KelbyOne is just one small part of building our community this year, and we have so much planned. It’s all in our Members-Only Webcast that I mentioned earlier, where we share all the things we have planned for 2017—a year where we focus on expanding our community and making KelbyOne more valuable to our members than ever. As always, we archive our live Members-Only Webcasts, and you can find that episode right here.
Thank you for being a KelbyOne member and coming with us on this journey as we empower people through education to create beautiful, fascinating, wonderful things. 2017 is going to be an amazing year!
All my best,
