This annual theme exhibition has been a tradition since I began curating exhibitions in public spaces throughout NYC, NY before I created this website in the year 2000.
50 or more artists will be selected for this exhibition that will take place primarily on our other website “The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS” which I initiated in 2015.
20 artists from the exhibition will also be featured here on the Manhattan Arts International website.

The Purpose of the “Art Inspired by Nature” Exhibition
* To share inspirational, superior works of art in different styles and mediums by artists from around the world — from representational art to abstract expressions. — the art will convey the many beautiful physical aspects of our natural environment as well as nature’s emotive, symbolic, and healing qualities.
* This annual exhibition builds relationships for the artists with art buyers, galleries, and other individuals, organizations and businesses that are interested in nature-inspired works of art.
* Our “Nature” exhibitions also raise awareness about our responsibility to celebrate, respect and protect our natural environment.
Additional Promotion and Special Awards for Artists
* 20 artists will be featured in our exhibition promotional campaign on Instagram, FB and LinkedIn.
* 10 artists will receive Special Recognition Art Awards and will be featured and promoted in articles and interviews published on both websites.

Hello Tommy,
That’s wonderful news!
I look forward to seeing your entries!
Best, Renee
Good morning, Renee :-))
Yes, of course, I’m putting my hand up for a submission.
Thing is… same as always… I don’t know which of my drawings you might find most appropriate: Artemis or any other … on my crazeedoodles CaroleClaude T. IG page.
That said, i do trust ALL on the other side of your bay window is already shaping up as calm and as pleasant and as positively stimulating as possible. Kind thoughts from me, carole
Dear Carole,
Thank you for your comment. Many artists wonder about how to make that decision. My response is submit which 2 works of art you feel are your best… The ones that most relate to the theme. If you felt strongly about creating a work of art inspired by nature trust your best judgment when you submit your images.
I hope this answer helps you and any other artists who wonder about the same situation.
I look forward to seeing your entries!
Wishing you creative bliss,
Renee
