Artburst Studios hosts exciting online shows that prioritize high-quality artwork and promote meaningful connections between art lovers and artists. Shows are held multiple times per year with each show lasting less than 72 hours. Shows feature up to 35 artists, with each artist creating a show collection of 8-12 pieces. Each show is curated to include a variety of mediums and styles.  All selected artists and their collections are presented to our ever-growing group of dedicated collectors and broader audiences through show graphics, individual artist profile pages, blog posts and artist interviews resulting in multiple opportunities for increased exposure, followers, and sales. 

We are selecting artists for our upcoming June 2025 online show, running from June 19th-21st.  Each selected artist will feature a collection of 8-12 original pieces, created specifically for the show and available for purchase. All artwork sales take place on the Artburst website. Artists ship sold pieces directly to collectors at the conclusion of the show.
