GLBTI Artists Promotion
Effective January 1, 2013 open registration to the GLBT Artists Promotion will be closed. Future participants will be by invitation only. The Directory and promotional services for registered participants will continue. If you would like to participate it is not difficult to be invited. Or if you would like more information and or have questions send an email with a description of your art, what you would like to achieve by participating, and how you feel about cross support. By cross support we mean link backs, promoting programs, and promotional expectations. We are happy to add more artists. I have gone to this format to increase membership which is interested in mutually beneficial opportunities.
Available to all GLBTI artists, and supporters. Our basic promotion is free of cost but does require a link back to one of the three; StoneWall Society, OutVoice, or Rainbow World Radio. The promotion is intended to support, introduce, and promote GLBTI artists as well as to provide a resource for the community at large. This promotion works best when perceived as one with a "networking" basis. When we all support each other, we create a wealth of opportunities. Below is a list of services offered. This is not an automatic list, so please feel free to let us know in which service you have an interest.
Promotion History and explanation;
From October 1999 to January 2012 the StoneWall
Society (SWS) GLBT artists promotion was a
totally free program. Link backs were not verified. As of January, 2012 all link
backs are being verified. As we are by name a network it is just common sense to
insure that the promotional areas meet the same criteria as the entire network. We will attempt contact with participating free artists
a minimum of two times prior to determining if we will continue that artist's
inclusion in the directories. Our primary goal is to establish and host as
complete a directory of GLBTI artists as possible. Artists are listed by artist
approval and or request.
Artist Wings were included in the free program from October 1999 to January 2012. Beginning January
2012 artists wings will be a benefit provided
only to artists participating in the fee based, $15.00 per year program outlined
below. All artists with wings established during the free period will be
contacted to allow them to participate in the new programs before or if the wings are
removed from the StoneWall Society website. However, SWS reviews written
for any wings removed will be housed in the SWS Art Reviews section.
Unsolicited music/art or music/art received without a registration may be
included in our programs. Once a written, may be emailed, statement granting us
permission to include the art/music in our programs, from the artist or artist management is received music/art
will be added to the library and opened for inclusion. Artists may submit and be
included in our programs without being listed in our directory. In this option no
link back as required in the program below would be expected. However, links
to the artist's website will be at the discretion of SWS as to being added to our
SWS GLBT Artists Directory.
When included in programs, artists are always named and given full credit and stated ownership of their art.
Basic (free) promotion, Link-back program
This program of the GLBT Artist promotion is free with verified link-back from the artist's website.
When you complete this form, and a link back to one of the mentioned websites is verified, you will be added to the Stonewall Society GLBT Artists Directory. This is the largest directory of GLBT Artists we have found on the Internet or elsewhere. To further add benefit we have opened www.glbtartists.com which will also house the SWS GLBT Artists Directory, selected reviews and some Rainbow World Radio programs. A second directory of artists active in the SWS GLBT Artists Promotion will also be established on this website and on www.glbtartists.com. This directory of active artists will include; link-back participants and fee based participants. Ultimately both directories will link to the artist website by clicking on the artist name. Where appropriate, wings and reviews will be listed separately.
When you submit your art and a statement of permission to include, (already in the registration below), along with this completed registration we will include your art into our library. Submitted art may be included in our online and live programs and events. Any time art is utilized in our programs full credit with links to artist's websites and ownership of the submitted art will be announced and or posted. StoneWall Society will never claim ownership of any submitted art. Original artists will always be recognized.
(On any art to be considered for inclusion in our programs we must have a permission of use on file.)
To clarify, when you complete the registration below and place a permanent link on your website to any one of the following; StoneWall Society, OutVoice, or Rainbow World Radio, you will open the free benefits listed below. Please email when you add a link-back so we may verify. Prior to all requested services we will verify link-back status.
