This event will be a momentous celebration as we begin a new year!
The exhibition will feature a wide variety of creative interpretations of the theme “New Beginnings”. We will present different subjects and all styles — from realism to abstraction — that feature such expressions as dawn, hope, growth, renewal and transformation. Artists may also share their newest creations, art from their new stylistic direction, or their art using a new medium.
All 2-and 3-d art mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, collage, photography, printmaking, digital fine art, batik, stained glass, and more, are considered. We do not accept AI-generated art, installation art, video art, or graphic erotic art.

Hello Renee, how many submissions do you accept from an artist? And are you accepting Digital media?
I wish to participate with 2-3 pieces that tell a story around the theme of ‘New Begginings’.
Thanks and regards
