Artburst Studios hosts exciting online shows that feature high-quality artwork and promote connections between art lovers and artists. Shows are held multiple times per year with each show lasting less than 72 hours, and feature up to 35 artists. 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 sales, exposure, and followers. 

We are highlighting textile/fabric artists for our upcoming September 2025 online show, "Synapse", running from September 18th-20th.  Selected artists 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.
