April Group Art Show Deadline Tonight!

Deadline Tonight for April Online Group Show!

Greetings artists and friends of the gallery!

Today is the last day to submit to our April group art show "Flower Power!".

While ”Flower Power” was a slogan used by Hippies opposing the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s America, we want to use it to celebrate Flowers & Art in our April online group art show.

Throughout history, humans have used flowers to communicate their emotions and to commemorate various occasions. Still-life paintings of wilting flowers were meant to capture the fleeting nature of human life. In France and England, the aristocrats covered their palaces with floral wallpaper.

Botanical illustrations brought art and science together dating this art practice to the 1st Century B.C. In the Victorian era, the Pre-Raphaelite artists filled their paintings with hidden botanical symbolism. And we shall not forget Vincent Van Gogh’s iconic sunflowers.

Flowers have a lot of other historical significance across the globe so to welcome the arrival of Spring our April online group art show celebrates flowers. We welcome artworks depicting Flowers from all mediums of visual art, except video/film.

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

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

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

As our community grows, we have received multiple requests for Solo opportunities. You asked and we listened, so now HMVC Gallery New York is 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.
