Hyde Park Art Center

After looking at the Hyde Park Art Center website, my interest in getting involved with the art center be it through teaching, interning, or volunteering has grown.  I have only visited the art center once, but this single visit was enough for me to be impressed with how amazing the facility is, and the website supports and reflects this impression 100 precent.  The website is simple, yet creative from the use of fonts, colors, and art images to the organization of the material. When I entered the site, I focused on experiencing the site from a teaching artist perspective and I was able to navigate through and find all the needed information if I wanted to apply to the art center for a job or learn more about the who and what of the center.  The fact that I was not distracted by flashy components or lost within a maze of words demonstrates that the site is designed with care.  As mentioned in my other web critique, I greatly appreciate how websites place their contact information and hours of operation in an accessible location, and Hyde Park Art Center did just this.  I also appreciate their "how to get here" icon because it gives easy to read directions to the art center.  Overall, the site is accessible, aesthetically pleasing, informative, and represents the art center well.  If I had one recommendation, the rolling scroll on the home page displaying the exhibits could be changed only because information on rolling pages can be lost to a viewer; and maybe a photo gallery page showing adult classes and artwork produced in these classes.  Love the Hyde Park Art Center, A+.
