Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture
October Athena Exhibition: The Big City
Whether it's The Big Easy or My Kinda Town, the Big City is one of those elements close to the heart of Dieselpunk. So share with us your vision of the Big City in the Dieselpunk-topia!
How the Exhibition Works
Each Expo features a specific theme related to the Dieselpunk ethos and aesthetic. Create your masterworks of art, fiction, nonfiction, photography or other media (we welcome music, film, cosplay, video--anything you can display on a computer in some way!) for that theme.

BIG NOTE HERE: The email address has CHANGED!
I will post all the Expo entries at once on the last day of the month for that Expo's theme. You may send me entries at any time until the last day of the theme's month.
Exhibition Themes
Here are some upcoming themes to whet your creative appetite:
October: The Big City - in honor of the limited screenings of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, let's celebrate that icon of Diesel era prosperity, the Big City.
November: Welcome To The Machine - Of course, no great run of prosperity comes without the work that makes it happen, and to the Diesel era, that meant machines--great, huge, oily, wondrous machines, ushering in a new age of...what? Is it progress, or will our humanity be ground into dust in the same gears and cogs that elevate us?
December: The Gathering - Nothing says decadence--or Deco-dence--like a party! The theme is festive, and even the cogs of the great machine need a little down time for re-oiling. Bonus points for you if you've actually
hosted a Dieselpunk party--or want to share tips on doing so. Show us how the wild dames and swing cats get down!
