Artists must be 18 years old, be authorized to work in the US, and identify as having a disability.  This can include a development disability, cognitive decline or impairment, traumatic brain injury, learning difference, mental illness, or physical disability.  People Love Art is an inclusive community, if you’re not sure whether you or an artist you represent qualify to submit art, let’s talk!

  1. Artwork should be original.  This means no tracing, and no copying someone else’s idea or artwork.
  2. Artwork cannot contain any copyrighted material (i.e. no characters from existing cartoons, comics, anime, video games, etc)
  3. Art should be unique.  We like art that’s funky and different.  Be sure to embrace your personal style!
  4. To be printed on a t-shirt, drawings will ideally be finished on every side.  This means that your drawing will have space all the way around it, and not be cropped by the sides, top, or bottom of your paper or canvas.
  5. Artwork can deal with any theme you choose.  However, we won’t feature artwork that is in conflict with our values.  This include depictions of hate, excessive violence, sexually explicit content, or references to some illegal activities.
We currently only accept two-dimensional artwork that is scanned or photographed.  A clean, high resolution scan is the best option when available. If you are photographing your work, consider these tips to help you capture the best shot:
1.  Hang your artwork on a wall
Hanging your artwork on a wall helps you align your camera squarely and helps eliminate shadows.  You can use artist’s tape or painter’s tape to briefly hang a paper drawing without risking tearing the paper.  Hang your artwork at the height of your camera.

2.  Have plenty of light

Photographing a work hung on a wall outdoors in daylight often results in the best lighting. If taking a photo indoors, try to take your photos near windows with as much natural lighting as possible.  If you don’t have sufficient natural light or photography lighting, just turn on as many lights as you can (but don’t aim a bare lightbulb directly at your artwork, and try to keep any shadows off the artwork.

3.  Line up your shot

Position your camera height so that it lines up with the middle of your artwork.  Zoom out completely, and move close enough to your artwork so that it fills up most of the frame. A bit of background or wall in your image is ok. Be sure your camera is positioned straight ahead of your artwork and not at an angle, which will distort your image. If possible, use a tripod or table to position your camera, and use a 5 second timer to ensure a clean shot.
