            Qbox.org will function as an online community center for California 
            and the world, focused on the creation, presentation, discussion and 
            preservation of mechanical, kinetic and electronic art. The site will 
            contain a calendar of all upcoming QBOX events with in-depth information 
            about the art and the artists. There will be a message board open 
            to everyone to announce other events, classes, forums, calls for artwork, 
            and other related information.

            reviews of recent QBOX events, as well as links to articles and artists 
            interviews focused on mechanical, kinetic and electronic art.

            Impact  
             
            The web site will offer our audience a deeper, richer and more educational 
            experience by providing a great deal of information about the artists 
            we present and about their work prior to seeing our shows. It will 
            also help us expand and diversify the audience that comes to these 
            events. The site will also provide artists and educators with a place 
            to learn more about the opportunities available in the mechanical, 
            kinetic and electronic art community.
