New Horizons: Landscapes 24, 7th Annual Exhibition
Join us on a visual journey through the ever-evolving realm of landscapes at our New Horizons: Landscapes 24, 7th Annual Exhibition. Traditionally, artists have sought inspiration in the breathtaking landscapes that surround them, capturing the essence of nature's beauty on canvas. However, in the midst of contemporary shifts, how has this age-old practice transformed?
Explore the dynamic interplay between our changing landscapes and the evolving human connection to nature. Witness the exploration of newfound connections or the poignant losses embedded in the evolving terrain. Will landscapes become mere reproductions, frozen in the frame of a photograph, or can artists infuse them with the vibrant hues, nuanced lighting, intricate designs, and rich textures that encapsulate the profound essence of their experiences?
Much like the revolutionary impact of impressionism and cubism on our perception of landscape art in the past, what fresh interpretations and innovative perspectives define today's landscape art scene? In "New Horizons," we invite artists to submit works in both expansive and intimate formats, encouraging bold strokes, novel viewpoints, meaningful dialogues, vibrant blends of color, or monochromatic studies. The canvas is open to your creative exploration—what lies on the horizon for the future of landscape art?
Juried by the 3 Square Art Gallery

The competition welcomes all media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, printmaking, textiles, and digital art.
The theme of this exhibit is landscapes. We are seeking all approaches to landscapes both traditional and contemporary to abstract. However, the landscape must be the main subject of the work as opposed to being a background to other subjects such as people or animals. Seascapes and cityscapes are also part of the landscape genre and are suitable for submission.
Artworks must be created in the past 3 years (2021-2023); any artworks completed before 2021 will be disqualified. The Entry fee is non-refundable.
There is no size restriction for Entries other than the fact that the piece must be able to fit through a 6ft x 7ft doorway.
All artwork must be original. You warrant that your entry is your original work, which does not infringe on the rights of any third party, and that you have all the rights necessary to submit the entry and is independently created, composed and executed. Artwork that originates from a workshop or a class under the direction of a teacher or instructor is not eligible. No copies from other artists' works or paintings/drawings from other artists' photographs or from published material will be allowed. Source material must be original. For artworks based on reference photographs, eligibility requires that the artists must have taken the photographs (artwork must be created on your own photography).
Artwork that previously exhibited at the 3 Square Art Gallery are NOT eligible to submit.
Artists who have withdrawn accepted artwork/artworks in any previous exhibitions are not eligible to enter.
