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!
