Vibrant Visions 3

About this call

HMVC Gallery New York invites artists who treat color as their power source to submit work for Vibrant Visions 3, its November online group show. The gallery is looking for artworks that burst off the wall, ignite curiosity and bring heat to the cool season, whether they radiate neon intensity, lush saturation or unexpected chromatic twists. Juror Heini Mika judges the entries, and one artwork from each selected artist is included in the show. All participating artists are featured on the gallery's website and virtual gallery and receive a certificate of participation, and a video of the show featuring every participating artwork will be screened on a jumbotron billboard in Times Square later in November. The Best of Show winner receives $150, the second place winner $100, and the third place winner a one-month online solo show with a solo certificate. Notifications are sent by October 31 and the show premieres on November 1.
