Gallery FF660 Final Update

Gallery FF6600 is the brainchild of contemporary printmakers, Phil P. D'Martino and Saira Anum. 
Both D'Martino and Anum find traditional galleries to have stiffness to them. Their mission is to break this stiffness by removing the walls and taking the gallery to the Internet. Online galleries are not a new concept, but they still have a seriousness to them that traditional galleries do. This is why D'Martino and Anum have decided to approach their's with both humor and professionalism.

Gallery FF6600 is a mixture of quirkiness and seriousness that was created in order to help contemporary printmakers with exposure as well as to exhibit prints done by contemporary artists. Done through their continual exhibition, which can be read about on the homepage of this site, that contemporary printmakers and artists are invited to submit to.

In the future we are hoping to continue our online gallery, but instead with its own domain name. We have registered our domain since presenting in class and will be posting more diligently than we have been. Both of us would also like to take the gallery and use it as a starting point for opening a bakeshop/ gallery facility within a few years.
