Most of the show-related action takes place in the Gallery. You can access the Gallery by clicking the "Gallery" link in the upper right-hand area of any site page. The Gallery is organized into what the developer calls "Categories." A top-level "parent" (show) category always appears on the front page of the Gallery as a link. The link leads to a list of linked subcategories (classes) that may contain images. This link shows an illustration.
