Attention artists! VANS members and other professional artists are being solicited with personalized emails for pay to participate/ pay to publish schemes. These emails are from companies or individuals like publishers of “Story of Fashion”, Circle Foundation, World Wide Art, and Artavita. While they may be actual websites/ book publishers, please research them very carefully and use your best judgement because they charge artists exorbitant fees to show/ publish their art so it is NOT a good deal for artists.
