Eligibility:

Throughout history, artists have masterfully used various art movements and techniques to convey their emotions. How does an artwork make you feel? When you look at a painting by J. M. W. Turner, do you sense a profound serenity washing over you? Do you feel the intensity in Tamara de Łempicka’s female portraits? Do Jeff Koons’ balloon dog sculptures make you giggle? These are mere examples of the multi-faceted ways in which an artist is able to show mood and emotions in their artworks.

The aim of this show is to showcase a variety of thought-provoking artworks that encourage the viewers to appreciate the depth and diversity of artists’ emotions as depicted through art. While the theme remains unrestricted, we are specifically seeking artworks that communicate and express moods, feelings, and emotions. This is an opportunity for artists to reflect upon and share their creative processes, inspirations, and techniques for infusing their works with emotional resonance.

We welcome artworks from all mediums of visual art, except AI-created art, and video/film.
