As I've worked piecemeal through small content updates on the staging.inkscape.org website I seen we need new graphic assets, especially for homepage banners, screenshots, and community
gallery areas. The gallery on the existing website has operated as a timeline of version development and features. I think the new website gallery could be presented more as an showcase of artwork/design. But where should these images come from so this
can be populated?
My query in simple form is: from where should we source images for the new staging website? And how should permission-seeking work for using others' art?
I've compiled below some areas where I see this could be crowd-sourced.

There has been a lot of great examples of vector graphics creation through Inkscape posted socially online. I consider this a great choice in how we could populate our Gallery in our staging website.
Here are some examples.
