Nov. 2008 Yale Daily News reports "ArtParlor, or rather www.yale.edu/artparlor, is a new Web site that is working to create a community for artists and art enthusiasts both online and on campus."The PennDesign MFA Forum serves a similar function, as a site not only for matriculating MFA students, but for alumni, Philadelphia artists, art enthusiasts, and those who are simply curious about arts in Philly. Most of the lectures are open to the public; the public is certainly welcome to exhibitions posted on the site. Part of the vision behind the site is to connect with the greater public through this expansive medium known as the Internet. The University of Pennsylvania is "the first" in many areas -- the first university; the first to offer courses in many disciplines; and perhaps significantly, the inventors of the first computer (built by Eckert and Mauchly).
