February Group Art Show Last Call

Submit your art to our February Group Show now!

Since its invention, the color Pink has most often been associated with youth, sweetness, and femininity.

Greetings artists and friends of the gallery!

We have received a lot of inquiries from artists regarding this show, so we decided to extend the deadline to January 29th!

We can find various shades of Pink in nature from animals to stones to the sky.

Pink makes regular appearances in fashion, as seen in Jackie Kennedy’s well-known Pink suit and Lady Gaga’s Pink Met Gala ensemble.

If you drink too much alcohol you might find yourself hallucinating Pink elephants.

Then there is the “Pink Tax,” which increases the price of everyday items that are sold in Pink over identical items sold in other colors.

Although only 2% of people say pink is their favorite color, our Co-Founder adores it.

In our February Group Art Show, we want to see artworks made primarily of the color Pink.

To be considered for the group show artists must provide the jurors with high-quality images of their artwork as befitting the theme, an Artist Bio, and an Artist Statement.

★ Digital entries must be received by January 26th, 2023 before 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

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

★ The show will premiere on February 1st and end on February 28th.

AWARDS:

★ All Artists participating in the group show will be featured on our Website and Virtual Gallery platform. We will promote the show and the Artists in our Newsletter and individually on our Instagram page @hmvcgallery.

★ All participating Artists will be awarded an HMVC Gallery New York certificate of participation.

★ During the Group Show, we will select two winners to have their own Solo Shows the following month. They will have two weeks each and we will promote them in our Newsletter and on our Instagram page respectively. The winners will also receive a second certificate recognizing their achievement.

HMVC Tips for Artists

Ever since we began in August 2022, we have been sharing important tips on our Instagram @hmvcgallery (check out our Reels). And starting today we will post those tips here as well.

Online Art Galleries & Shows.

While online art galleries are becoming more accepted in the industry, many artists hesitate to apply due to the notion that online galleries do not hold the same prestige as brick-and-mortar galleries. Not to mention that vanity galleries run rampant online and it is regrettable if you fall victim to them. This is why we always recommend you research the online gallery you are interested in.

So now that you have done your research, why submit your art?

★Global Reach: Every day HMVC Gallery New York gets visitors from Australia to Japan, to the UAE and France (to name a few countries), so the exposure of an online gallery is vast. You won’t get that kind of exposure exhibiting at your local art gallery or art fair.

★It’s Cost Effective: Most online galleries charge between $20-60 for 3-5 artworks. If your artwork is chosen, because everything is digital you don’t have to worry about shipping your work, insurance, lost or stolen pieces, and showing up for the opening. Once you have been selected you can sit back, relax and wait for the show to launch.

★Improve Your Digital Footprint: Online galleries are here to stay and the more shows you do, the more search engines like Google will push/feature your profiles and sites online. When an online gallery links your site or profile to theirs this increases your exposure ie your site will be more prominently featured as the algorithm learns to prioritize your site over other similar sites. As our lives become more digitalized having a prominent presence online will be vital to artists.

Providing artists with a quality platform and aid is our main mission and we hope these little tips have clarified why online shows should be part of your artistic journey at the end of it all.

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.
