ACW Call for Art Submission Policy

*Submissions Must be Original Art.

*Art should be physically created by hand and be one-of-a-kind. This includes limited edition, numbered and signed silkscreen, lithography, photography, linocut and other relief printing.

*Digital art is welcomed and needs to be numbered and signed.

*AI Assisted art is welcomed but must be identified as such and needs to be numbered and signed. Assisted = AI used as a tool with extensive input from the maker of the art

*AI Generated art is not accepted. Generated = AI drives the process with minimal input from the submitter of the piece. We believe and have proof that many AI platforms have not obtained permission to use the images on which their algorithms are based.

*Reproductions of original art are not accepted.

*No use of trademarks/logos/ or copy righted images.

*Must be (or willing to be) an ACTIVE ACW Member

Lin Boemer statement.

“Artificial Intelligence (AI) is built on the collection and analysis of pre-existing, human creations, whether that is text or images. Oftentimes, this collection is without the consent or compensation of the original creators, and this is widely prevalent in the case of AI art generation. There are certain AI generation programs that have scraped the internet for artists they wish to reference, taking their art so that their programs can learn from and replicate it without the knowledge of the artists themselves. Some artists may be against the use of AI for this reason, as while it offers an easier path to creation, it does not support the compensation and accreditation of the artists it has learned how to create from.
