Many artists have been contacted recently with the following email.  This is NOT from GCU nor supported/sponsored by GCU.  The emails were sent via artists' storefronts and the sender used a GCU email alias with malice.

With all solicitations artists need to determine what is viable or not viable for them to pursue.  We do not want to prevent solicitations via your storefront as they can offer great opportunities.
 
We will be notifying this sender to stop using a GCU email alias.  It shows poor judgment and poor business practices on their part.  
 

Thanks Mindy for 2 things:
 
1. Keeping an eye on these type of solicitations in the group.
2. For not minding if we pursue other venues to sell our work even if GCU is the springboard that gets us to these other opportunities.
 
I appreciate that.
