Flowers | Open Call / Juried Exhibition

UPWARD Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our juried art exhibition and competition, Flowers.

Flowers and the symbols attributed to them are one of those themes that permeate art from ancient times to modern painting. This is not surprising – after all, flowers are present in a person's life from his birth until his death, appearing at the most significant moments. And artists give flowers eternity, capturing them in their works.

All artists 18 and older are encouraged to submit their work in any medium, style, and genre.

Acceptable mediums include all traditional art media (e.g., oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point), digital painting, arts and crafts (beadwork, pottery, embroidery, floristry, batik, stained glass, two-dimensional collage and fabric art as well, etc.).

All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at upwardgallery.com. 

The winners (1st place) are interviewed by the UPWARD Gallery editors for publication in the printed edition UPWARD’s Quarterly and on our site.

Each entrant of the competition receives a personal page (solo exhibition) in the UPWARD gallery. Selected works will be featured in curated galleries on our site. All entrants will receive digital certificates based on the results of the competition.
