Good day, Steemians! Dia bom, Steemians!
Did you see the latest SteemFest² update from His Steemajesty 
SteemFest² Updates - New Names Announced - Announcing Pop Up exposition: Art At SteemFest
Our considerate MC is making progress on this awesome fest for our community & platform, and most exciting (imho) is that
There's going to be an art space at SteemFest², and YOU are invited to submit a piece for display!!!
At the base of Ponte de 25 Abril, on former textile factory grounds, nowadays called LX Factory will host a Pop Up Art Gallery with the exposition: 'Art at SteemFest' for the complete duration of the event from 1 to 5 november! Very close to where the SteemFest Blockchain Hackathon will take place!
The owners of LX Factory came up with this place and together with help of @everlove, @paolobeneforti, @skapaneas, @opheliafu, @toonpunk, @voronoi,@prc, @kolatz, @silviabeneforti, and @timsaid this will become a nice creative hub, especially during the DIY Citytrip Weekender. The gallery will be open to the public and mainly visited by Steemians during the 4/5 november DIY Citytrip Weekender ofcourse as on 2/3 November people are 'somewhat' busy with the main conference.
Pretty cool, huh??
Art is awesome; it is pure freedom and expression. I love to see imaginations shine forth through various mediums, and I'm really excited to see what our talented community presents for a gallery. Multiple layers unfold when artists combine their talents and unique perspectives, creating a brand new entity through the collective! It is an opportunity for pure play, and I LOVE to play!!!
We have so many incredible artists here on Steemit! For just a few examples, check out 
extends the invitation for any & all Steemians to submit a piece to display in the artist's space!
Here's how to do that, according to his latest update:

As I say, I 💛 Art and would love to play in this space - but we only get 1 submission!!!
I request your opinion, friends - which piece should I submit for potential display at SteemFest²?
Next to my very favorite medium yoga, photography is one of my top creative outlets, but I also like to draw and paint. Which one of these creations do you like the best?
ink & salt on silk...alas, this is not high resolution and the painting has been gifted away.

from one of my favorite cameras I've ever had, the classic iPhone 4.
pencil & sharpie on paper

What do you think - should I submit one of these? Dig a little deeper in the archives? Make something totally new for SteemFest²??
We have only a few weeks until meeting again in Lisbon!! Do you have your tickets? Transportation? Accommodations?
There are a lot of organizers, facilitators, and generous donors making this event possible for all of us, so a big THANK YOU to these & many more folks behind the scenes:
