Use our site as a platform to gain more exposure for your work! As our featured artist your work will spend a full month on our homepage and be featured in our newsletter. We will link to your online art portfolio. This is the best, free advertising on the web. You may email us at art@oystersandchocolate.com. Include a link to your online portfolio or 3 sample images attached as .jpg attachments. We prefer to publish galleries of seven images or more. This is a great way to promote your work! We do not take rights to your imagery; you may have it published anywhere online. Upon acceptance, your art will be archived in our gallery indefinitely, to be taken down upon your request.
