We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for artists to participate in our upcoming virtual exhibition: “Earth & Creatures.”
This open call invites artists of all levels, from emerging creators to established voices, to explore the beauty, diversity, and symbolism found within the natural world and the living beings that inhabit it.
The earth has always been our shared home, a vast canvas of landscapes, forests, oceans, deserts, and skies filled with life in every form. Creatures roam, roots grow deep, seasons shift, and ecosystems evolve, reminding us of the delicate balance between nature and existence. Through this exhibition, we invite you to interpret the earth and its creatures in your own unique way, its textures, its colors, its stories, and its spirit.
Whether your work is realistic or abstract, serene or powerful, we welcome every perspective. Capture the quiet strength of mountains, the rhythm of waves, the grace of animals in motion, the intimacy of plant life, or the imagined worlds where nature and fantasy intertwine. Paint the terrain, photograph wildlife, sculpt organic forms, or illustrate the emotional connection between humans and the living planet.
From painting to photography, digital art to mixed media, collage to sculpture, all mediums are encouraged to bring your vision of Earth & Creatures to life.
Join us as we celebrate the extraordinary world beneath our feet and the countless forms of life that share it with us. Let your work become a window into your world, where land, life, memory, and imagination meet in harmony.
This is your chance to showcase your vision on an international stage, connect with a global community of artists and collectors, and share how you see the living planet and its inhabitants.
We can’t wait to witness the landscapes, ecosystems, beings, and stories you create, and the connections they reveal.
Please note: Artists submitting their work should be aware that inclusion is not guaranteed, as this opportunity involves a juried selection process.
About the Project
The Virtual Exhibition is an online showcase created to present and support emerging and independent artists in a professional digital setting. The project is designed to provide artists with a structured space where their work can be viewed, appreciated, and documented as part of a curated collection. It focuses on quality presentation, thoughtful selection, and creating a meaningful viewing experience rather than simply displaying artworks online.
This initiative aims to encourage creativity across styles and mediums while offering artists an opportunity to be part of a well-organized exhibition format that values originality, clarity of concept, and artistic effort. It also serves as a portfolio-building opportunity for artists who wish to have their work featured in a curated environment.
Who Can Apply?
We welcome submissions from:
Artists aged 18 years and above, of all genders, nationalities, and backgrounds.
Creators working in any visual medium, including painting, drawing, illustration, photography, sculpture, digital art, mixed media, textile art, and experimental practices.
Why Apply?
Selected artists will have their work professionally displayed within a curated virtual exhibition space. Participation offers:
A documented exhibition feature that can be added to portfolios or resumes
A structured presentation of artwork in an organized digital format
The opportunity to be part of a selective and theme-based showcase
Visibility among viewers who actively engage with online art platforms
The Virtual Exhibition is intended to be a practical and credible opportunity for artists who want their work presented thoughtfully, without unrealistic promises, focusing instead on quality display and professional representation.
Theme: Earth & Creatures
“Earth & Creatures” explores the relationship between the natural world and the living beings that inhabit it. This theme invites artists to reflect on landscapes, ecosystems, wildlife, plant life, and the many visible and invisible connections that exist between land and life. It encourages a broad and personal interpretation, allowing room for realism, abstraction, symbolism, or imaginative storytelling.
Artists may choose to focus on natural environments such as forests, oceans, deserts, mountains, gardens, or rural and urban terrains shaped by nature. Others may center their work on animals, birds, insects, marine life, or hybrid and mythical beings that express cultural narratives or personal symbolism. The theme also welcomes conceptual explorations of environmental balance, coexistence, fragility, growth, and transformation.
“Earth & Creatures” is not limited to literal representation. It can be expressed through textures, patterns, colors, and forms inspired by organic life, or through emotional and symbolic interpretations that convey humanity’s connection with the planet. Whether detailed or minimal, serene or dynamic, each artwork is an opportunity to interpret the living world through an individual artistic lens.
This theme values diversity in perspective and medium, encouraging artists to present how they observe, imagine, or emotionally relate to the earth and the countless forms of life it sustains.
