Portal:Visual arts/Selected picture

Selecting an image
There is no formal nomination process for adding a new image to the selected images collection. Before adding an image, keep the following in mind:


 * 1) Images must be free, either public domain or freely licensed. Fair use images are not permitted outside of the article namespace (see Fair use policy criteria #9).
 * 2) Images should be of high quality.
 * 3) Images should be a useful means to point to Wikipedia content. Do not add an image that is not in use somewhere within a Wikipedia entry. To determine this, check the bottom of the image page itself, where you will find a list of File Links.

Suggest an image
Feel free to leave any suggestions for a selected image in this section. Comments are helpful.

Nominations:
 * Can I suggest the Mural of Cincinnati created by Saul Steinberg? This 75-foot mural is on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum, there are images of the conservators working on it.
