Art For Arts Sake

[tangledsnakes]

~Welcome to my blog~

I’m 25, have a degree in contemporary art and I’m a huge art nerd. You can expect appreciation in art history on my page.

This blog supports Palestine, reproductive rights, black rights, indigenous rights, trans rights and gay rights. Art is inherently political.

Feel free to submit any work you would like for me to dissect or just to see. My favourites are (but not limited to) paintings, poster designs, etchings and performance art.

This blog will not feature Ai slop. if I happen to mistakenly reblog any Ai please let me know.
