JUST ADD WATER

Art Fluent invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to an online exhibit titled JUST ADD WATER. The theme centers on water in all its forms—oceans, rain, rivers, puddles, or hints of blue—exploring how water connects to feeling, memory, and transformation.

JPEGs are due by Friday, June 5, 2026, at midnight MST. Notification of acceptance and online gallery opening will occur by Friday, July 2, 2026. Entry fees are $25 for the first entry and $10 for each additional entry, with a maximum of 20 total submissions. Payment is non-refundable and does not guarantee acceptance. For 3D work, there is no need to pay for additional entries for detail shots; additional views may be sent by email to [email protected]. All accepted pieces will be displayed in the online gallery at www.art-fluent.com.

Awards include Best of Show ($750) and two Director's Choice awards ($250 each). The show is curated and juried by Creative Director Amy Matteson Neill along with an anonymous committee of jurors. No personal feedback is given by jurors. This call is open to artists worldwide, both amateur and professional. Work that has been selected for previous exhibits with Art Fluent will not be considered. Work that is copied or done under the guidance of an instructor is not eligible. Open to all fine art mediums (oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, ceramics, film/video, digital art). AI will not be accepted. Diptychs and triptychs should be uploaded as a single image. All images must be in JPEG/JPG format, 1,200 pixels or greater on the longest side, with a maximum file size of 5 MB.
