Hi everyone,

We’re coming to you with something new: Fan Art Fridays

We recently did a poll to see if you, the community, would be interested in this, as we get multiple fan art submissions daily that are not allowed under the current rule-set. However, the response rate was lukewarm. Therefore, we want to trial this for one month to see the community’s reaction and get your feedback on either implementing this permanently or not at all. In the end, it’s your decision!

So what’s happening now:

• Starting Friday the 23rd of January and ending the 13th of February, you can post fan art on Fridays.
• Friday counts as 00:00 to 23:59 GMT. See here in your timezone.
• Outside of these times, fan art will be removed as usual, and you will get a removal message stating why and when you can post.
• You can give your feedback on this post. Please don’t give feedback about the trial under people’s posts.
• If the feedback is positive, we will continue allowing fan art. If the feedback is negative, we will stay with our current rules, which is no fan art.

We look forward to seeing all your amazing art and hearing your thoughts on this trial. As always please keep our community guidelines in mind.

Happy posting!

Welcome to the r/Art Weekly Discussion Thread!

This thread serves as a space to hang out, chat, and connect with other members of r/Art outside of sharing artwork.

Each week we’ll feature a different art-themed topic to spark conversation, deeper discussion, and community interaction. Think of it as our open lounge for artists, art lovers, and anyone who just wants to talk about the world of art.

You don’t have to discuss the week’s topic to participate in the thread, it’s simply there to encourage deeper or more focused conversation for anyone who’s interested. Don’t want to chat about the topic? Totally fine! Feel free to discuss what shows you’re binging this week, how work has been going, or whatever else is on your mind!

This week’s topic: What are the most important skills an artist can have?

Please make sure to keep our community guidelines in mind when posting. We appreciate your cooperation.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the mods.

Have a creative week!
