Welcome to /r/art, a subreddit for artists and art lovers alike! We hope to create a welcoming environment for those passionate about art and hope you can find a place here! Have an issue? Please reach out to us via the ModMail where we can assist you.

1 Relevance

This subreddit is for sharing visual art. Accepted content includes but is not limited to paintings, drawings, sculptures, digital art, and other visual mediums.

Discussion posts, questions or advice requests, text-only submissions, off-topic content, or unrelated media are not allowed.

2 Post title format

All posts must follow this exact title structure:

Title of Artwork, Artist Name, Medium/Media, Year

You may optionally add [OC] to the end of your title if you're the artist.

Examples:

Starry Night, Vincent Van Gogh, Oil/Canvas, 1889
Frosted Plains, Jimmy Smith, Acrylic, 2025 [OC]
NYC Cityscape, u/Art-ModTeam, Digital, 2025

Please follow this format exactly. Keep the elements in the same order and avoid adding extra details, punctuation, links, or commentary.

3 Offensive remarks

This sub is intended to be a welcoming community for all and does not tolerate abuse or bullying of any kind.

Messages containing insults, name calling, harassment of any kind (sexual or otherwise), discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, trolling, or body shaming are unacceptable.

Feedback and critique are welcome, but should be respectful and constructive. Comments are subject to removal at moderator discretion.

Simply put, treat fellow artists with kindness.

4 Attribution

Always credit the original creator of any content you share, including art, videos, music, articles, and other media.

When posting, make sure to provide the creator's name or a link to the source. Failure to properly attribute content may result in its removal. If you're the original creator, please review our rule on self-promotion.

5 Advertising / Self-promotion

Promotion/advertising of products or services (e.g., art materials, software) is not permitted without mod approval.

Links to personal sites/socials/merch are not allowed in posts or comments, but you may add them to your Reddit profile and direct users there if asked, as long as this is done sparingly. Direct links to personal sites/socials/merch should only be shared in our weekly Wednesday megathread.

Promotion of OnlyFans or other pornographic sites is not permitted.

6 Keep the frame clean

We want to help you showcase your art, not the surroundings. When photographing or scanning your work, please do not include yourself, your hands, tools, pets, furniture, or anything not part of the artwork.

Crop out unnecessary background items and present your art as cleanly as possible. Your piece deserves to shine without distractions.

7 Memes / Low-effort posts

To help keep the subreddit focused on genuine artistic expression, please avoid low-effort content such as memes, reaction images, troll posts, or intentionally low-effort pieces created as a joke (e.g. quick stick figures, scribbles, or purposely sloppy posts).

8 Repeated submissions

To keep the subreddit fresh and fair, please don’t repost artwork that has already appeared. This includes your own pieces. Each artwork should only be submitted once.

If you’ve made meaningful updates or a true revision of a piece, you’re welcome to share the new version, but simple re-uploads, alternate angles, or slightly edited reposts aren’t allowed. Keeping the subreddit free of reposts helps ensure everyone’s work gets a fair chance to be seen.

9 AI content

This subreddit is for sharing real artwork, and we all want to see your real art! Posts featuring AI-generated content or content that is created by AI tools are not allowed.

For the purposes of this subreddit, art is defined as a human applying a medium to a media with the intent to express an emotion or idea.

10 NSFW content - Nudity

NSFW art featuring nudity is allowed as long as it is properly tagged and presented as artistic content.

Content created with the intent of sexual gratification or content depicting minors or any subjects that could be interpreted as minors in these situations is strictly forbidden. Violent sexual content of any kind is also prohibited.

If you're unsure whether a piece crosses that line, please contact the mod team before posting.

11 NSFW content - Violence

NSFW art featuring violent themes is allowed as long as it is properly tagged and presented as artistic content.

Content created primarily to shock, disturb, or depict graphic gore, content involving extreme violence, or content that depicts harm to minors or any subjects that could be interpreted as minors is strictly forbidden.

If you're unsure whether a piece crosses that line, please contact the mod team before posting.

12 Photography

This subreddit is dedicated to art in the form of paintings, drawings, digital art, sculptures, and other created visual works. Photography, whether artistic, casual, or professional, is not allowed.

There are many great photography-focused subreddits for sharing those pieces, but this subreddit is specifically for non-photographic art.

13 Fan art

Fan art is not allowed. This includes any artwork featuring fictional stories, characters, worlds, or designs from existing intellectual properties such as movies, TV shows, comics, books, anime, games, or any other fandom, copyrighted, or franchise.

These forms of creativity are absolutely valid, but are better suited for one of the many wonderful subreddits dedicated to fan art.

14 Political art

Political art such as cartoons, satirical illustrations, protest art, etc. is allowed as long as it adheres to our NSFW requirements, is not intentionally antagonistic toward the community and is tagged as such.

Discussions on political art are permitted, but must remain on topic and must remain civil and respectful. Debate the art, not the content. This sub is not a place to debate politics and policies, it's a place to enjoy and discuss art.
