UPDATE 

I have received DOZENS of notes from artists wanting to exhibit in DeviantART's first online EXHIBITION. Each is including a handful of images from their gallery, an ART RESUME and a STATEMENT about their work! This should prove to be an awesome show with many already quite established artists taking part from all over the globe.



** Applications are accepted only until next Friday - NOVEMBER 23rd, 2007 - so make sure you have your materials to me before then! Please note me, `
alchemism with the details listed below.


READ BELOW!
Have you ever wanted to be featured in the
NEWS on DeviantART? Have you ever wanted to excercise your skills as not only an artist, but
as a professional?
Here's the scoop:
APPLICATION PROCESS:

Submit 4-6 thumbs in a note to `
alchemism (previously assistant to the Director and Curator of Edward Day Gallery, Toronto; currently a Master of Fine Arts student at the University of Waterloo; Assistant Professor of 2nd year oil painting - intended to inform as credential only!)

Include a professional ART RESUME - something that lists your accomplishments, your exhibitions in galleries or cafes, awards, collections, etc. Include as text within the note, or through a link to a website or PDF.

Include a statement of your intent about your work - what does your work mean, what are your directions, what are your processes? (100 - 150 words is acceptable)
A selection of artists with the appropriate credentials will be included in a DeviantART NEWS article.
If you are interested in submitting an application but don't know where to begin, please read above, or do a bit of research on Google to find out the best ways to present your work and your ideas. Find layouts for good art resumes (not unlike a regular employment resume, just filled with art merits!), find examples of artist statements that might help you write something solid about your own work. This is a common step in anyone's professional artistic career, and more often than not, it is just as important as the work itself.
GOOD LUCK!!!
The first exhibition will be posted on Saturday, December 1st, 2007 on the FRONT PAGE of DeviantART NEWS.

what if someone is a great artist, but has not shown anywhere yet?
I doubt they would have a chance to be picked....
the show here will be fantastic nonetheless and I'm looking forward to seeing it because I like to look at good art
but to a large extent I agree with padlamoij's view below

do you HEAR how elitist that sounds
not a darn word about quality of the work
just "APROPRIATE CREDENTIALS"
snobbish krappy elitism has no place on DA

I agree with the socialist aspect of DA - to help all in any form possible; where even the newest of artists can get their name out there. Each day there is a news article featuring hundreds of unknown artists works.
What I am doing is to have an artist actually work for the space within the news article - to allow anyone interested a chance to present themselves as a professional artist.
It's always about quality - you've misread.
But it's also about those artists who are interested in stepping up their game a little bit.
