We need all entries for Contest in by the 10th. Happy New Years!
We are currently looking for atists who are interested in having their work featured. The theme of your work must involve something inspiring and positive. There is so much negative in this world, and we are trying to go the opposite direction! If you are for this, and you feel your work shows this, then come aboard! This cause needs you!

ALL forms of work will be accepted. Photogaphy, drawings, paintings, you express this theme we will feature you! If your work is exceptional, we will feature it to thousands more at our other website ([link]). There we feature the same theme. We feature schools from around the world, as well as artists. We are fed up with all the negative news in the world! No matter what country a person live in, it’s all the same. Violence and despair covers the globe. We want Artists to have a place to share just the opposite.
Ask yourself one simple question, when considering your submission. Will others look at this and feel the same? Not if its a picture of some dirt and it inspired you to grow corn. Thats really great if a picture of dirt helped inspire you to grow the corn, but would it to another viewer? This is a difficult, but not impossible, theme.
Something is taking place, while you consider these things. Your mind is thinking positive and that has made this world, for just that one second, a better place off.

We are also looking for teachers! If you are an art teacher, or know one, please let us know! We would like to feature them, and their classrooms!

What this is NOT: An attempt to get more viewers to our gallery! Once you read about this, an wish to visit, you will learn this. We do offer prints of our own work, but the funds go directly back into this program. We also have different programs, in our own community that tries to do the same. To take something negative and turn it into something far different. To sometimes use those things to live a better life. No matter what is going on around us. There are many different programs that bring attention to just as many "causes." We believe in keeping things simple and sharing with others this positive attitude! We have to stick together to really bring change to this world! This can be done! Mountains are not moved by simply wishing them to be gone. They are moved with a vision and a dream. A dreamed turned into a goal. When one small part was moved, and then another, what was once thought to be impossible, became possible.
Our DA gallery,[link] has more information on various contests that are we are having! New mediums are constantly being viewed. Have any questions, please ask! We believe in artists helping artists to make a better world! When a person thinks about this, they realize that it really is a great power. When people stand for good, it will always prevail. It is as love is to hate. Love is so much more powerful! Hate brings down, love builds.

Think about it! Send us a note and let us see what you have!
We are also looking for positive writings! Therefore, writers please send to us your link of your work. You have to keep it under 2500 words, and the theme must center on the same feelings. Be featured in our gallery here and be considered for publication in "Before the Sunsets."

Let us make the world just a little more positive today! People can make a difference! The world will continue to spin regardless. Wars take place and it’s often the young who fall victim. Politian’s promise change but soon take the change from your pocket. People make the difference. We control what we do today, and the lives we touch while living it. We are trying to do the same. We want to show your work off, and make others smile and feel good. That is the true power that "art" has in all of us!
