2026 - New-Gotta keep Politics and Art Going but now adding In-Gallery Show

Politics and Art. The Big Idea. Your art. Your politics. Your power. We've been collecting powerful political art online these last few years. Now we're bringing the best work into our new gallery space. This is your chance to see your art displayed in a Gallery as well as online (fyi- If you have already submitted to this show in the last few years, whatever we chose for that online only show, will also take part in the juried In-Gallery part of this November show. No need to reapply) —This Is About Politics, it isn't a dirty word in art. It's essential. Art that challenges, questions, provokes, and inspires is some of the most important work being made today. We started Political Voice as an online exhibition to give artists a platform. Now we're moving to our new gallery space where we are now allowed to have this kind of show, and we're curating the strongest pieces from our online collection—PLUS accepting new submissions—for a major in-gallery exhibition this November. Your online submission could be selected for the gallery wall.

How This Works:
Phase 1: Online Exhibition from the last few years (Ongoing) • Artists submit 1-3 pieces of artwork, at least one of three are selected for the online gallery • Work gets featured at www.laslagunaartgallery.com • Thousands of people see your art digitally.
Phase 2: In-Gallery Curation (NEW) • We're reviewing ALL online submissions from last few years plus any new submissions deadline Oct 24th • Selecting the strongest pieces for our new physical gallery • Creating a curated exhibition that makes a statement • Your online work could be selected for display.
Phase 3: November Opening • Opening reception • Physical exhibition of selected work • Community conversation & celebration.
