There are new submissions up, as per usual with a new journal, so do go ahead and check it out.
**
Please read**
Here's an update on some guidelines for the activities:
Now guys, the point of the exercises is for you to actually use your noggins and create something for the group. That said, I'm going to ask that all exercise submissions are created for the activity, and not just pulled from the back of your gallery.
I appreciate that you all have art that can at times apply to the theme, but please, actually be
active and
create for the group. I will no longer accept submissions that weren't created for the current theme.
Thanks for reading!
Also, at the end of this month, I'll be changing the exercise theme. This next one will attract a lot of attention from a good number of you, so keep your creative beans flexed!
Exercise #4: Heat
Alright, here's the next exercise folks! This time, I'd like for you all to make something interpreting the word, "heat". It can be in whatever medium you wish. Writing, of course, is always welcome.
Like the last exercise, your work will be featured here in the journal for everyone to see. So make sure that what you produce is something you'd want a whooole lot of people to see featured, because the traffic here is pretty lovely.
Black Artists' Vibe #6: Collaboration
The second activity this time around involves your cooperation with another person or persons in the group. So don't be shy! Talk it up with some folks. Take a look at the
Membership List, find someone who's active, and send them a message asking for a collab. If you don't know what you want to do, it's cool. You could actually make this part of the activity tie in with the "heat" exercise and just put together something for that theme with someone.
Submissions!

You can now join each other in some dAmn chat
here! You can also search for BANetwork, and that'll bring up the chatroom as well. I'll eventually go through and add those in our memberlist to the memberlist of the chatroom, so you'll have priveledges over that of a guest.
HOW DO I JOIN??
Please take a look at the rules, which can be found
here. And remember: send notes, not comments!
Here's the member list! Look at the size of this group!!

i think we should start taking submissions... and placing them in the gallery... i mean, stead of just showing them in the journal... these ARE being done for the community, so i think why not? just a randomish thought...
