About

Utata Staff

Utata is a collective of photographers, writers, and like-minded people who share a compelling interest in the arts. We began (and continue to exist) as a salon-style gathering of photographers who came together on flickr. As a group we are continuously evolving; Utata is more of a process than a final product.

Photographic projects grew organically out of the group's wide-ranging discussions. In order to provide an appropriate setting for those projects it was necessary to create an entirely new entity.

Utata.org is that entity. It is our attempt to retain the intimacy of the original salon while expanding to include new voices, new perspectives, and new ideas. Our goal is to become a semi-civil online tribe devoted to creating and promoting good art.

For a detailed explantion of how you can participate in utata.org, please see the submissions guidelines page. If you are a new member, you will want to see the orientation page, no doubt.

The flickr Group

The flickr group Utata has some 9000 members who contribute daily to the pool and the conversation threads. It's a pretty lively place.

The Group Staff

The administrators and moderators of the group are the people that answer questions, start threads, help co-ordinate projects, participate in group decisions, liaison with site staff and generally keep the flickr forum lively and happy.
