Welcome to Love New Artists
Our Mission
Love New Artists is a group that attempts to be inclusive of all artists. We aim to showcase artist's work to the best of our ability no matter what the genre. This does not include mature works or work created using an AI generator.
Our aim is to use our galleries to showcase art without prejudice, but with a few basic guidelines to assist us, and our members, with decisions about submissions.
CLARIFICATON
The "NEW" in Love New Artists, means that we love to see long term members of DA joining our group, as well as people who are new to DA.
