  1. Acceptable mediums include Photography, Painting, Printmaking, Graphic Design, Digital or Multimedia, Sculpture, Installation, and Video.
    • If you chose to digitize your own work, scan at the highest resolution possible (600 dpi or higher) for approximately a 200MB file size or greater.

Artwork Guidelines

  1. Due to the public nature of this project, we will not consider artwork that depicts nudity or could be conceived as pornographic.
  2. We will not accept artwork that marginalizes, in any way, any person and/or group based on race, gender, creed, age, sexual orientation, nationality, and/or disability.
  3. We will not consider work that contains profanity.
  4. Given the commercial nature of this venue, we are extremely sensitive to any work that could be construed as an advertisement for a product, service, business, event, or anything else. Therefore, we will not consider advertisements. Under certain conditions, we will consider work that may take on the appearance of an advertisement, if that work is not a direct advertisement (rather it subverts or questions the idea of advertising).
  5. We will not include the artist’s name on billboard pieces. The billboard cannot be overtly used as a promotional tool. However, we will promote the artist, current exhibitions, etc. on the Your Art Here website in conjunction with the mounting of the billboard.
  6. Your Art Here has final say on all curatorial decisions.
