On the Rise 2026

Blue Line Arts in Roseville, CA is thrilled to announce the return of On the Rise, our regional emerging artist exhibition! This exhibit is dedicated to showcasing exceptional artwork created by artists aged 14 to 24. Please note that artists under 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign the consignment agreement upon acceptance. Part of our mission as a nonprofit is to support and nurture the creative spirit of artists of all ages and experience levels. On the Rise is a perfect opportunity to learn how the process of a juried exhibition works first hand from beginning to end. We welcome submissions in any medium, including painting, sculpture, digital art, photography, and more.

There is a non-refundable entry fee of $25 to apply, allowing applicants to upload between 1 and 5 photos of artworks for possible inclusion.

All artwork must be original and completed within the last two years, ready to hang for 2-D works, and for sale.
