Timid budding artists and established professionals alike-this is supposed to be FUN! Relax, upload the image, follow the instructions and push the button! “Collectors” too, if art in your home or office was created by a Gay or Lesbian artist and you’d like to share it for four days, take a photo, upload the image, follow the instructions etc. As for artist bio…primary juror focus is on the art not on the artist bio! You can email your bio later! Before June 25th of course.
