The Exhibit and SoFLaFoto: virtual platforms of artistic opportunities
By Yenny Hernández Valdés and William Riera
TheExhibit and SoFlaFoto are ideal platforms to conquer global audiences, to create spaces for professional exchange, to share ideas and projects with a wide lens, to meet other industry professionals, and to open ourselves to the world and to new perspectives on contemporary art and digital curation.
