You have no idea what you are doing ….. we can help. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------  Regarding Artificial Intelligence and Call for Entries: AI Restrictions— The ability of the artist to express themselves visually is a magnificent gift accomplished with much thought, practice and patience. As such, we as an organization choose to advance those works which are created solely from the artist’s essential nature and efforts. The use of references that are not the sole source of the artist are not, therefore, acceptable in our exhibitions. The artist who can conceive, plan and execute a totally original work of art is in our opinion the highest caliber of artist. New technology may perhaps make it easier to convert your ideas into visual images, but AI conceived images are not original to the artist, they are original to AI. We have added the following policy to our Call For Entry Procedures: "Artists MUST use their own photo references when creating their artwork. The use of any AI generated images, professional photographed images, other artist’s images, instructor’s images or photographs taken by another individual, is STRICTLY prohibited, unless you have permission by the professional photographer, artist or instructor to use the images. You must also give them credit as the artist.  Should we determine that an artist has violated this policy, the offending artist will NOT be eligible to participate in CAC online or gallery exhibitions for a period of two (2) years. Any award for the infringing artwork will also be revoked. This policy safeguards the integrity of CAC and protects the individual artist from potential copyright infringement. CAC assumes no legal liability for violations of copyright of another individual’s material, or intellectual property rights.” 4) Photography and Prints: The gallery will accept only original work created by the artist. No reproductions or giclee prints will be accepted unless approved by Jenni Kirby, owner. Works where the art process IS the printed process, i.e., etching, monoprint, silkscreen, lithograph, etc., or where the printed digital images is created by the artist with a computer program such as Procreate, Photoshop, etc. ARE permitted. The gallery reserves the right to refuse work. 5) Artist Declining an Acceptance: There is a limit to the number of pieces that can be accepted into a show, based on numerous factors. If your work is selected, that could mean that someone else's work is not. Once the Call for Entry date has passed, your inability to provide THE ACCEPTED WORK for the show will result in the work being removed from our Online Sales, and the artist will not be allowed to enter future members shows.  Be sure the dates for this show does not conflict with any gallery obligations you already have. As soon as work is entered, it should be temporarily removed from all sales and exhibition venues. ------------------------------------------------------------- This exhibit will be LIVE at Crossroads Art Center, as well as on ONLINE on our website.
