This group is an opportunity for all and any artist to become part of a global collection of pieces that express individual perceptions of what love truly is to those who participate.
Everyone, including you, has been moved by the incredibly complex miracle that is love and all that people do for it. Not to sound too corny...but from crusades for justice to legacies of families to mass murder to literature to art to wars to vows and apologies at death, love inspires human beings in a way nothing else quite does. This is a sort of collaborative initiative, a tribute to love and all that people do to aid it, to protect, to mourn it, to come to believe in it once again. This is a challenge to anyone and everyone who would like to accept and participate.
Here are the only guidelines:
-Create a work of art (which means absolutely anything - literature, movie, song, comic strip, drawing or anything else you can imagine) that describes love, from your eyes, from your life.
-It must be something original, though it can certainly relate to any media item as well.
-Title it: "Love = [Your idea here]".
-Submit it to this group. Your art -will- be accepted. (unless, of course, it contains something terribly defamatory or hateful...)
-Tell anyone you know who might be interested; pass it on to your friends, enemies, and everyone in between. The more people submit, the more that can be done with this...who knows what could happen? It is something for which everyone has a story, which has shaped each person's spirit and life unalterably, and which, through all our many, many differences, we all share in.
- Be creative, innovative, powerful, unique, and have an awesome time creating something!

Notes...
So, there's a few points we'd like you to take notice of:
- This is, again, both a group and a project. The purpose is to create a worldwide gallery of individuals' idea of love and encourage people to focus on expressing their stories specifically.
- The rules for project (aka "Featured" Gallery) submissions are also here: love-equals.deviantart.com/blo…
- If you have a work you have already done and titled that fits in the parameters of the Featured submissions, it will be included in the folder "Themed Pieces (Pre-Created Submissions)".
- If you have or have seen a work that fits in the general category of/relates to love, but focuses on other things as well, or doesn't really fit the other two folders, please suggest it to favorites.
- - There will be contests. :D They will have their own folders. If hosted by us, these will have to follow group and contest rules (which are not limiting, so it shouldn't be a big deal).
- - Group affiliations are awesome. We don't want to just crowd our list, though, we want to use them as useful and meaningful links to groups with similar art, focuses, purposes, and themes as ours to be most helpful to visitors and members. If you request an affiliation, please try to add a short note explaining why the group goes along with ours (usually it's pretty obvious, but not always).
- -Any questions, comments, excitements, or ideas? Please note the group! We'll be more than happy to help.
