About “Art Inspired by Nature” 2026

Celebrate Nature With A Range of Artistic Expressions!

From Renee Phillips: Curator, Founder and Director of Manhattan Arts International
Manhattan Arts International will proudly present the “Art Inspired by Nature” Online Exhibition September 15 – November 15, 2026.

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.
* To raise awareness about our responsibility to celebrate, respect and protect the natural world.
* To initiate relationships among the exhibiting artists, nature-loving art buyers, and other individuals, organizations and businesses that are interested in nature-inspired works of art.

Additional Promotion and Special Awards for Artists

* 20 artists will be featured in a video on the Manhattan Arts International YouTube channel.
* 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.
