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

As the season of renewal and transformation, spring brings with it a sense of hope, growth, and new beginnings. It is a time when nature awakens, colors return, and the air is filled with the promise of possibilities. 

We invite artists of all mediums to explore these questions in our upcoming Spring Reflection Art Competition. Whether it's the rebirth of nature, personal transformation, or the emotions stirred by the longer days and blooming landscapes, we encourage you to express your unique vision of spring.

This competition is an opportunity to showcase your interpretation of what spring means to us as individuals. From the fresh energy of emerging blossoms to the deeper introspections of change and renewal, let your creativity shine. 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

1. Present fresh and innovative ideas that offer new perspectives on spring. 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 "SPRING REFLECTION" 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.
