Call Description

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

“Autumn Vibes” is not just about golden leaves. We’re seeking work that captures the essence of autumn—its transitions, textures, moods, and metaphors.

This could include:

• The beauty and melancholy of fading nature
• Themes of change, release, and transformation
• The richness of autumnal palettes
• Harvest, memory, and stillness
• Shadows growing longer, light softening
• The cozy, the eerie, the nostalgic

SELECTION CRITERIA INCLUDE:

1. Your interpretation, uniqueness and originality 
2. Demonstrated excellence of technique
3. 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 "Autumn Vibes" 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.
