Entries are being accepted for our Juried Art Competition from artists from all over the United States!

Through "Winter Art Odyssey," we hope to discover unique interpretations of this season that go beyond the familiar imagery, embracing everything from stark solitude to cozy gatherings. We are especially looking for work that pushes creative boundaries and offers new perspectives on winter’s impact on nature, humanity, and imagination.

Let this winter be your muse. Show us the depth, mystery, and wonder of winter as you've experienced it, and take us on an odyssey through your art.

Artists are encouraged to push boundaries and challenge traditional approaches to perception, offering viewers an immersive sensory experience. We welcome submissions in various mediums, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, mixed media, photography, and digital art.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

1. Present fresh and innovative ideas that offer new perspectives on winter. Whether you're inspired by nature, folklore, personal experiences, or imaginative concepts, let your creativity shine. 
2.  Your interpretation can be realistic, abstract, whimsical, or surreal. 
3. Uniqueness and originality 
4. Demonstrated excellence of technique
5. Color and Intensity

 Take this opportunity to connect with a wider audience, gain exposure, and contribute to a captivating collective experience. We look forward to seeing your creative vision and how you bring "Winter Art Odyssey" to life through your art!

Art Mozaik Gallery especially values the contributions of New Mexico’s diversified and flourishing arts community. We hope that by putting out this call for art in New Mexico, we may help to draw attention to the abundance of creative ability in the area and give local artists a chance to be seen.
