A new year & a new look Melbourne Goth Artists
Welcome to the first stage of the Melbourne Goth Artists group, a group for Melbourne, AUSTRALIA based artists to submit work and have themselves a little extra exposure in not only the Goth scene, but the Art scene in general.
Most of the "rules & guidelines" will stay the same, however there are a few new ones with the introduction of the new DA group profiles.
Also if you think of anyway we can improve the group, send us a note with your suggestions
****************
1- JOINING UP!
To join you do need to be an artist based in Melbourne AUSTRALIA or at least in Australia. Unfortunately if you don't fit this criteria, you will be denied.
To become a member, simply click "Join" & watch us, add our user icon in your journal (promoting us will help promote you in the end).
2- SUBMITTING ART TO US
Simply click the link to add art, select the folder (we have photography, traditional art & Digital art. Please send us a note if you think we should add more. Please don't submit art to the Featured folder - it will be rejected.
3- QUALITY OF SUBMISSION
This is an issue often discussed and debated. We are NOT an art critique group, we are just providing an avenue for you to find other artists. If you don't like the work, ignore it.
4- ARTISTIC CRITIQUE
If you dislike an artist or their style, or you wish to give critique or feedback, give it to the artist directly. They can decide for them selfs if they want the opinions or not.
Any feedback to artists submission, negative feedback, or complaints will be ignored or deleted and are better directed to the artist themselve.
5- GENERAL CHATTER
This isn't really a chat room, or a forum. We won't be Nazis, but it's better to leave chit chat with other deviants to their profiles. We won't stress too much about this, but conversations are better left again, to private.
6- ABUSE/SPAM
Abuse or spam won't be tolerated, We will delete it. It's pretty obvious what is abuse and what isn't. If you know someone personally and have a relationship where you can "diss" each other playfully, keep it to your own personal profiles.
7- SUGGESTIONS, PROMOTIONS
We may advise against chatter and discussion and critique, but if you know of a deviant/artist who you feel should be publicly promoted for others to find out about, feel free to share. the same goes for techniques, tutorials you know of or things that will generally add to the artist community as a whole.
8- EVENT AND MEET UP PROMOTIONS.
We will be advertising our own meet ups here, but if you have any meet ups planned, or gallery openings of your own or a friends, send us a note and we'll add this information to the meet up section.
