TOYs & JOYs 2025 - 2nd Annual Juried Exhibition

Exhibizone invites artists to submit work for Toys and Joys 2025, an international juried art exhibition celebrating the magic, nostalgia, and playful wonder of toys and games. The exhibition explores how toys serve as gateways to cherished memories, boundless creativity, and meaningful connections, inviting artists to uncover the stories, emotions, and creativity sparked by toys that have shaped our lives and imaginations.

All 2D and 3D media are welcome—abstract or representational. Artists may explore suggested categories including nostalgic classics, active play and sports, party games and gatherings, creative toys and games, role models and inspiration, strategic board games, digital adventures, toys in movies, futuristic toys and games, and abstract expressions. Submit up to 6 artworks; a maximum of two artworks will be accepted from each artist. Submission is free; if selected, there is a USD 35 selection fee with a money-back guarantee available until the exhibition's official opening day.

Selected artworks will be exhibited in an online group exhibition from April 16 to June 16, 2025. Benefits include promotion for sales via the online exhibition, featuring on ARTSY (the largest global community of art collectors), publication in an exhibition catalogue distributed internationally, potential honorable mention awards (up to 10 artists), lifetime exhibition links and artist pages, promotional materials, artwork reviews from visitors, comprehensive promotion program, analytics reports, potential publication opportunities in magazines and books, a free artist profile page on the Biafarin platform, and a digital certificate of participation.
