Web Critique::::Hyde Park Art Center

Www.hydeparkart.org/

Content:
I think that the Hyde Park Art center should follow in the Art Institute's lead and put their address and phone info on the left colomn where there is less information...also we read from left to right. But I know this is new because I used to always have to scroll to the bottom to get the address and/or phone number....so I'm happy it is moving on up! There is a lot of content on the front that I believe to be unnecessary and distracting. I enjoyed the hole in the wall story :)...and just realized my teacher bio is on there and it is way outdated and I haven't given an art pic to the art center to put with it!!! Who do I speak with about that?
I think the staff info or a link to staff should be on the front page...I would always have a difficult time finding it. I mean it seems obvious...but it would be great if a link were on the front.

Design:
I actually really like the design. I think it is easy to read...and the opening picture really pulls me in...makes me want to know more about the art center. The tabs are easy to see and read and are well placed.
The font is interesting...yet easy to read. The color scheme is relaxed. The design is orderly, artistic...but doesn't quite represent the funkyness that I love about the art center....hmmm....if I knew more about web design I could give a suggestion here. I guess I would like some roughness...layering almost like by clicking on a link on the main page you are peeling away a piece of a collage and revealing the inside of the art center???? hmmmmm

Visability:
The tabs and links are very easy to read. I do think that the address information and transportation info should be the first thing we see. I think the images before each topic on the front page are fitting but I think that they could be used as buttons to click on to lead to different areas to add some interest to the search of info.
