What is The Artist Challenge?
How does it work and what are the requirements?
The theme for the challenge will be clearly defined every month on the UPCOMING THEME PAGE. If applicable, we will include links to research the subject. It’s origins may come from the artists, patrons or othr friends of the challenge. The challenge can be done in any style or medium the artist chooses. (Painters, Sculptures and craftsmen are all welcome.) Each member is given 30 days to render their concept and post their masterpiece on The Artist Challenge site by the specified drop dead date.
How do I join this thing? HOW TO PARTICIPATE
How do I submit my artwork? IT’S AS EASY AS EMAIL
Why do it?
The challenges are an extraordinary exercise in conceptualizing a subject for the artist. Don’t assume it’s easy. The challenges require thought and may be subjects you would never dare select on your own. Go to creative places you’ve never been before.
Do I have to participate in every challenge?
NO
What are the cost?
We’re not a subscription gallery and take no percentage or silly sales fee. We have pay themes and free themes. You choose what’s best for you. (Pay themes are a paltry $7 )
What do I get out of it?
You and your site will get online exposure with The Artist Challenge Site and potential sales and contacts for marketing your artwork.
What happens if a patron wants to purchase my art?
The sale of your art is 100% yours. We do not take a percentage. The Artist Challenge promotes the work to prospective buyers but does not get involved in any transaction, handling of art or mediate between artist and buyer. All inquires from any valued patron will be directed to your artist contact.
Can I or my entry be rejected by the host?
You betcha!
Do you censor Erotic Art?
You betcha. Erotic art submitted to our theme galleries will be censored at the sole discretion of the Challenge Host. We are encouraging the young artists to join us and have decided it is better to not allow Erotic Art. The Artist Challenge supports the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP).
Do you censor comments?
Absolutely. We all prefer to hear the good comments about the art that is posted. But comments of any kind that include foul language or outrageously unkind are better off floating out into cyberspace.
From Your Host
The Artist Challenge is a co-op project site of online artists, hosted by artist, Rusty Harden. We understand the struggle of marketing your work online. As artists we come together to with the single goal of supporting each other, sharing knowledge and resources and promoting the work and success of each and every member. Doing the themes together are key to stimulating your creativity and growth as a artist in your chosen medium.
We are very active in the community of artists and art organizations. We are listed in the Artist Directories and in partnership with fine art galleries. We publicize the theme galleries making regular announcements in Art News and Art Magazines. Participation in The Artist Challenge is another resource for potential sales and contacts for marketing your artwork.
Your participation in The Artist Challenge includes your artwork being displayed in the respective theme gallery. Your website will be linked and you will receive online exposure and visibility with The Artist Challenge promotions. You will have access to artist resources and support in our online forum, Dante’s Pub.
