Book Projects
Starting in 2012 artist-at-large will be publishing a series of annuals – themed books that highlight some of the best work by members on the site. These annuals will be curated and site readers will be able to purchase them as POD – Print On Demand – books.
Themed DVD slideshow and ebook versions of the annuals are also under consideration. Right now image and copyright security issues are the main concern, which has this part of the project on hold.
Basic Submission Guidelines:
You must be an Annual Member of artist-at-large to participate.
Being a member of artist-at-large does not guarantee having your work accepted for any of the curated Annual publications.
Publishing of the artist-at-large Annual Publications will be curated and publishing will depend on the number and quality of submissions received.
