Through the ages the "red dot" has had special significance in art circles. In an art gallery a red dot next to the title of a piece of art means that art has been sold.
Back in the olden days of art fairs when slides were the preferred medium for submitting work for jurying, artists placed a red dot in the upper right hand corner of each slide so the person loading the slide carousels would position the image properly for projection to the jury. This procedure was standardized by the NAIA.
AFI members have been requesting a badge of some sort for a while now. Recently AFI member Peggy Furlin suggested that wedistribute Red Dots to members as a way to identify themselves to each other as they traveled the roads. So here you have it: the Red Dot bumper sticker.
We will be giving them away to members who post comments on our websites, who show generosity to others in the forum and to those who share in our community. But in case you can't wait to win one they are available at cost, $3 for one or $5 for two.
I'm looking forward to seeing spots as I travel!

Finally they have arrived in my office and the first ones are going out in today's mail.
Send us your photos with your red dots and we'll upload them to the Red Dot page.
