Group Art Show

and the freedom to see things differently.

What happens when you let go of the need to represent the world
exactly as it appears?
For Fall into Abstract, SkyArtworks invites artists to explore the expressive possibilities of color, line, shape, texture, pattern, movement, and imagination. Artwork may be bold and energetic, quiet and contemplative, carefully composed, completely spontaneous—or somewhere in between.
The exhibition may draw inspiration from the colors and changing atmosphere of autumn, but artwork does not need to have a seasonal theme. We welcome interpretations ranging from pure abstraction to work that begins with a recognizable subject and transforms it into something unexpected.
SkyArtworks welcomes submissions from emerging and established artists working in all media, including but not limited to:
- Painting and drawing
- Mixed media and collage
- Photography and digital art
- Sculpture and three-dimensional work
- Fiber, textile, glass, and ceramic art
- Wood, metal, and other creative media
Submission Information: Please submit the following for each piece:
- Artist’s name
- Artwork title
- Medium
- Dimensions
- Price
- A brief description, if applicable
- A clear photograph of the artwork
- Any special display or installation requirements
Submit your artwork information and photographs to info@SkyArtworks.org no later than August 20, 2026.
Artists will be notified of acceptance by August 27, 2026. Accepted artwork must be dropped off September 3–6, 2026, ready to display. Two-dimensional artwork should be securely wired for hanging unless another display method has been approved in advance.
