31st “Solo Art Series”

About the Open Call

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery announces its 31st “Solo Art Series” Online Art Competition. The gallery will judge the Top 12 artists who have the most complete “Body of Work” to show. From that group of 12 artists, the gallery will award 4 monthly Solo Art Exhibitions and the next 8 artists will be featured in the gallery’s Artist Showcase Section. The first of the four Solo Art Exhibitions will begin on September 15, 2025, and each solo exhibition will run for approximately 30 days through January 14, 2026. The Artist Showcase features will also begin on September 15, 2025, with one of the 8 artists being shown on the 1st and 15th of each month. The Artist Showcase content will be the artist's Solo Art Series entry package. Amateur or professional 2D & 3D artists (including photography and digital art), worldwide, with or without prior group or solo art exhibition experience, are encouraged to submit their best abstract and/or representational art. There is No Theme for this “Solo Art Series” Competition so any subject matter and any media are acceptable for consideration. The competitive process will encompass not only the quality and depth of the artist’s artwork but will also include an evaluation of the overall presentation of the artist’s biography and artist’s statement as included in the entry package. The requirement of a complete entry package creates an opportunity for the artist to craft and/or to polish their current artist statement and artist biography. For guidance as to the type and quality of art that was featured in prior shows, view our prior shows at Solo Art Series Exhibition Archives. The Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery Website also contains several How To articles to assist artists with their entry preparation and entry materials.
