Greetings artists and friends of the gallery!

November Online Group Show "Vibrant Visions" in 72h!

As November is one of the darkest months of the year, we wish to bring some color back into our lives by showcasing artworks from artists who dare to dream in color.

40,000 years ago, there were five color pigments in the world: Red, Yellow, Brown, Black, and White.

Think of the cave paintings on the island of Sulawesi or in the Cave of Altamira.

At one point in time Blue pigment, made from Lapis Lazuli, was more precious than gold and it was specifically reserved for religious artworks.

Given that Pink is created by mixing red and white, for a long time Baby Pink was designated especially for young males as this color was seen as too ”strong” for young women.

As we moved on to the 20th Century, we invented Neon colors, which are just very bright versions of the primary and secondary colors.

For many artists color is one of the most important elements of their art practice so this time in our November group show we invite artists to submit their unique interpretations of color, vibrant subject matters, and lively energy.

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

★ Digital entries must be received by October 28th, 2023 before 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

★ Notification of acceptance will be sent by email by October 31st.

★ The show will premiere on November 1st and end on November 30th.

[AWARDS]

All Artists participating in the online group show will be featured on our Website and Virtual Gallery platform. All artists will be awarded an HMVC Gallery New York certificate of participation. A video clip of “Vibrant Visions” featuring all participating artists’ artworks will be screened on a jumbotron billboard in New York City’s famous Times Square later in November.

We are delighted to announce that we will be giving cash prizes to two talented artists!

Best of show winner: $150

Second place winner: $100

Third place winner: Online Solo Show

The prize will be sent to the winner within 14 days of responding to HMVC.

This November we'd like to give our Thanks to our community by celebrating the future legends of the art world ie. Children.

We firmly believe that art plays a vital role in children's development, allowing them to discover their unique abilities, build confidence, and communicate their thoughts and emotions. And so we are proud to announce our very first HMVC Gallery New York group art show for children where budding young artists get to showcase their creativity and imagination!

”Child's Play” exhibition is for children aged between 5-17. This exhibition is FREE to enter for all children whose parent or guardian has exhibited with HMVC Gallery before (Group or Virtual Solo). New artists can submit their art for our November group show and then submit their child's art to ”Child's Play.”

★ Digital entries must be received by November 17th, 2023 before 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

★ Notification of acceptance will be sent by email by November 19th.

★ The show will premiere on November 20th, 2023 and end on January 1st, 2024.

Elevate Your Artist Bio & Statement With

HMVC’s Gold Standard

We are very happy to announce that we have implemented a new service called "Artist's Writing Aid."

We are well aware of how artist's struggle with writing Artist Bios and Statements because we review them every month. Many artists do not realize that their Artist Bio and Statement are a gateway to the art world and unfortunately many end up missing out on good opportunities because of poor writing.

So why not let us help you tell your story in a way that resonates, captivates, and elevates your artistic identity.

With our "Artist's Writing Aid" we provide you with a white glove mentor service by:

★ Uncover Your Unique Voice: We’ll conduct interviews and research to understand your artistic journey, inspirations, and aspirations.

★ Craft a Compelling Narrative: We will transform your experiences and thoughts into engaging narratives that captivate your audience.

★ Tailor for Your Audience: We consider your target audience—whether it’s galleries, collectors, or the general public—ensuring your artist bio and statement resonate with them.

★ Edit and Refine: We provide multiple rounds of revisions to ensure your bio and statement are perfect in every way.

Together, we’ll take your artistry to new heights!

HMVC Gallery New York is now offering you the opportunity to have your own solo show on our ArtPlacer virtual platform for a month. Because the artists in our community are at various stages in their careers, we have created three different plans for you to choose from Plan Manor, Plan Palace, and Plan Castle.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in doing a Solo Show with us.

This service is by request only so if you would like to know more you can contact us via the contact form or email us at [email protected]

Kind Regards,

HMVC Gallery New York
