I don't know if this is quite what your patron had in mind, but I am big fan of Phanfare. I've been on it for about 5 years now. It's not free, but it's not terribly expensive either, and they offer a lot of functionality; you can get any of your albums to show as a continuous slideshow, with or without captions. It's very easy to use both for loading and organizing content, and also easy for people viewing the albums to use. Here's their website:

They have some sample albums you can take a look at as well:

Hello all,
I'd like to tap your collective experience for recommendations related to
a question I've received recently:
"Topic: digital exhibits- online slide shows:
Are you up on digital exhibits of art? I am looking for one that would allow for a perpetual slide show for display. Ideally with identifications. I am looking at Flickr but find their interface for text awful. It covers the image quite a bit. If you have seen an elegant example I would love to know."
I asked the questioner for some clarification (Art created digitally? Digital exhib. of art created in other media?) She replied with an example (see URL below) of what she has in mind: digital, slide-like display of images of art created in other media. She just needs to know what display software is available that is better--more "elegant"--than Flickr.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
