• Painting
• Sculpture & Installation
• Works on Paper

Artists Wanted is a collaborative project between several artists and creative organizations whose goal, as they state themselves, is to “get your work seen in the most powerful way possible.” This is an excellent opportunity for all artists to have a chance to show their work in a world renowned show in New York City. HERE is a detailed breakdown of exactly how the competition works. Additionally, questions may be asked from 9-5 EST by live chat at the previous link, or at any time by emailing info@artistswanted.org.

Again, the deadline is Jan 31st so time is running out! Submissions are accepted through the Artists Wanted website which can be found HERE. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity!
