Portal:Visual arts/Selected biography

There is no formal nomination process for adding a new biography to the selected biographies collection. Selected biographies should highlight the strength and diversity of what the visual arts has to offer. While selections do not necessarily need to be FA or GA status, they certainly should not be stubs.

Suggest a biography

Feel free to leave any suggestions for a selected biography in this section. Comments are helpful. If you are feeling ambitious, the instructions for adding an entry to the selected biography collection are outlined below in the "Adding a biography" section. Any questions or disagreements about the appropriateness of an entry should be discussed on the talk page.
