What are Featured Artists?

  • Featured Artists, are artists whose works are featured on an individual page with a unique URL that includes the artist's name.

  • Three works of the artist's choice are presented, including mediums worked in and an artist's statement.

  • Images of the artist's works in these galleries can be enlarged to full-screen images by clicking on them.

  • A link to the artist's website is built into the artist's individual page.

  • The Featured Artists' main page is linked from the home page for increased views by our audience.

  • There is a hold on Featured Artist submissions until May 15, 2024. Please submit after that date.
