as far as a prescedent being set, it's already set. we have galleries for specific applications, yes. but there's also holiday, mixed medium, fractal, beginner, work in progress, challenge, 2D, photography...none of which have anything to do with a specific program or application but rather have to do with a specific theme. and Abstract Art is a very specific theme. very different from realistic art which this site seems to really lean too much toward. There needs to be a balance. Do you want to start a discussion about abstract art in any of the current forums? Would you have many if any other people join in with you or would you probably be told, if anyone responded, that it really didn't belong in that forum?
