It is wonderful to be a part of the 21st century where online networking can keep you connected to friends and classmates. Our primary goal is to provide an atmosphere that is safe and inspiring for you to share your thoughts and experiences on the topics of ART, EDUCATION, CAREER and all things CREATIVE. Please be sure you are posting images, language and dialogue that are positive and socially appropriate. Read the Ning privacy policy HERE.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

GREEN PAINT SPLATS
Right now the default photo (if you don’t add your own) for the new member image identity is a green paint splat. You can easily add or change your identity by clicking “Change My Photo” under your existing image identity. This is located on your “My Page”. Learn more about adjusting your profile and image identity click HERE.

VIDEOS
The videos we add are intended to give you a boost of creative energy. They are often passed along to us by other ART educators, submit by our members, and are simply to cool not to share! To view all the videos click HERE.

PHOTOS
The Oakmont Art Alumni Network specifically chose Ning as our provider because of the great photo sharing features! The slide show photos here on the Main Page are post graduation artwork submitted by our members and group photos of advanced art students throughout the years. The administrators of this site reserve the right to decline any photo we feel does not meet the standards of socially appropriate and/or conducive to positive interpretation. Read Photo Policy HERE.

COLUMN ON THE RIGHT
Currently we are operating this network without a sponsor so you see an advertisement banner on the right of the screen. We are working to remove the banner, but for now just try to ignore it!
