The Touched By Fire website is open to all artists, professional or amateur, who have or are recovering from a mood disorder. You can choose to upload artwork for sale or show to the website.
The call for submissions to the art show is now closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted, our judges will announce the results shortly.
To contribute your artwork to this website, please read the following information, and click here to go to the registration page for artists.
Things to know about submitting your work onto this website
1. You can submit original art works in oil, watercolour, latex, acrylic, drawings, or mixed-media
2. You can submit photographic images in black-and-white or colour, and photo-based images
3. This site can display up to 10 images of your work, so if you only have a few you can send them in now and add more later as you build your portfolio. If you have many pieces, pick your best and send them in. Change the pieces you choose to display over time so there's fresh content on the website.
4. You can login to make occasional changes to your profile, updates to your information and artwork. However, all changes must be approved by our administrators before they are displayed, so please be patient with any delays as our volunteers manage the website.
What should I know about the sale and pricing of my artwork?
All works of art included in the Touched By Fire website will be offered for sale, unless otherwise specified by the submitting artist. The artist is free to select the pricing level for his/her work of art. Please bear in mind, however, that price affects likelihood of sale, and that works by previously unexhibited artists will probably, despite their excellence, command lower prices
Rights of the artists and Touched by Fire
You, the artist, retain all copyrights to which you are entitled. However, Touched By Fire reserves the nonexclusive rights to publish, reproduce, display, distribute, and show the art without added permission from you. (After all, showing your art is the purpose of the program!)
