New Year, New Art 2026

KBM Art Gallery invites artists to submit their newest works for this international group exhibition. Artists may submit any artwork not previously displayed, including works created in 2026, though this is not required. The theme is open and works in any medium, style, size, and year of creation are accepted.

This is an online-only exhibition running from Saturday, January 10th through Friday, February 6th, 2026. The submission deadline is Tuesday, January 6th at 11:59 p.m. PST. Artists must submit 3-20 JPG images of up to 20 different artworks. For 2D works, images should be cropped to show only the artwork with excess shadows, highlights, or blurriness removed. For 3D works, images should be well-lit, centered, and against an all-white background. Artists may submit multiple angles of a sculpture but only one image per artwork will be displayed. Artworks containing nudity, genitalia, racist, offensive, harassing, or erotic themes are not accepted.

Eligibility requirements: artists must be 18 years or older and submit original works. Entry fee is $30 for the first 3 artworks and $3 for each additional work (non-refundable). Accepted artists will have at least one artwork featured on the gallery's social media pages (8.5K Instagram followers, nearly 20K on X). Artists retain 100% of profits from sales and may display and promote their work elsewhere. The gallery can link exhibited artwork to artists' personal websites. Artworks do not have to be for sale. This is a juried exhibition with anonymous jurors.
