Fusion Art is celebrating a very special milestone. October 2020 is the gallery’s 5th Anniversary and we are hosting a special 5th Anniversary art competition that kicks off a year-long online celebration.
For this open theme competition, both 2D & 3D artists, worldwide, are invited to submit their best artwork. Any subject matter and any media are acceptable and all artists, regardless of location or experience, are invited to submit their best representational and/or abstract art and photography.
This competition has a special discounted entry fee of $25 for 5 images ($5 an image). The exhibition will open on the website on October 15th and will be featured on the website’s home page for 12 months and will be promoted all year long in conjunction with other special events and promotions to celebrate the gallery’s 5th anniversary.
For this competition, the gallery will present awards in 3 categories – “Traditional” Art, “Digital & Photography” and 3-Dimensional Art (if the gallery receives 3D entries). Best in Show through 5th Place awards will be given. The Best in Show winners will be invited to Fusion Art’s 5th Annual Group Show in Palm Springs in 2021.
Depending on the number and quality of all submissions received, Honorable Mention and/or Special Recognition awards may also be given.
The exhibition and winning artists will be marketed and promoted extensively through the gallery’s website, in hundreds of online press release announcements, email marketing campaigns to over 5,500 buyers, collectors, galleries and art professionals, online event calendars, through art news websites including ARTFIXdaily, Artweek/Artjobs, Art Guide and Art.base.co and through our extensive and growing social media network.
