About the Open Call

Our September group exhibition invites artists from all backgrounds and disciplines to explore the vast spectrum of creativity. From mixed media and digital art to sculpture, painting, and beyond, “Creativity Unbound” is a dynamic show where imagination reigns supreme. Artists are encouraged to unleash their creativity and showcase the boundless possibilities of artistic expression. We are looking for artworks that are a testament to the artists’ fearless exploration of new ideas and their commitment to authentic self-expression. We want this group exhibition to inspire viewers to reconsider the definition of art and the artists to embrace the beauty of creative freedom. While the theme is open, you’ll be judged by your artwork’s originality, style, technique, artistry, and the quality of your Artist Bio and Artist Statement. We welcome artworks from all mediums of visual art, except AI-created art, and video/film.

All participating artists will be featured on the HMVC Gallery Website and Virtual Gallery, awarded an HMVC Gallery New York certificate of participation, and have a video clip of their artworks screened on a jumbotron billboard in New York City’s Times Square. Cash prizes include $150 for Best of Show and $100 for Second Place. The Third Place winner receives an online Solo Show at HMVC Gallery New York for a month, along with a solo certificate. A Blick Art Materials Award of $100 e-gift card will also be given.
