Director of Artist Relations


Hello!

The purpose of Artist Relations is to strengthen the community spirit as well as network with fellow artists so that we may bring outside opportunities to you, and help you to hone your skills. The Gallery Directors are the first people you should go to regarding your galleries. They are the people you need to make gallery suggestions to, and ask questions about your specific genre, or seek knowledge from. They also act as your lifeline to the administration. They are here to support and listen, and I can tell you we've got incredibly talented, devoted and passionate people on this team, so get to know them!

Once again we need to discuss disagreeing with daily deviations and how to do it properly.  Posting cruel, harassing comments on an artists' page because you don't think they should have gotten a daily deviation is immature and uncalled for.  If you don't agree with a daily deviation, contact the gallery director who chose it, or send a note to me.  With almost 51 million pieces of artwork, I can guarantee you that you won't like them all.  Open your minds, be respectful and don't be goons to your fellow artists.  FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature? is your friend.

  Please help out my team by sending your daily deviation suggestions to one person only.  There is great confusion caused when you suggest the same piece to multiple gallery directors.  We appreciate it

Some thumbs of favorites I've added recently:


Resignation
I have
      not written
poetry to soften the fall,
    caring not for lovers
      breaking a suitor’s
      uncouth hands.
I have not
      written poetry to inspire
       the mob, should
      revolution prove us
       failure again.
I have not written
       poetry to elate the heart
         for it to sink
       once more.
I have not written poetry
      only this: labors
             of a silly idea
      that I could confine your stride
