Call for Entries - Artist Grant

TERAVARNA is a contemporary online art gallery based in Los Angeles. The gallery invites visual artists from all over the world to participate in its International Artist Grants Contest for Summer 2025. This art initiative aims to support talented artists by offering them financial grants that can help in advancing their careers and creative projects.

Artists who are selected will receive financial grants up to $2,000, which can be used freely without any restrictions.

The grand prize can be a game-changer for emerging artists seeking to expand their reach.

The entry process is simple:

- Artists can submit 5 artworks for a fee of $45. There is no limit to the number of submissions an artist can make.

- After submitting the first 5 artworks, artists who wish to submit more can pay an additional $45 for every set of 5 artworks and follow the same submission process.

- All submissions are done entirely online, so there is no need to ship original pieces. High-quality images of your artwork are sufficient for the jury to evaluate.

Important points to note:

- The competition accepts all types of visual art forms—paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, printmaking, fiber art, digital art, and mixed media are all eligible.

- AI-generated art is strictly not accepted.

- Submissions are judged anonymously to ensure fairness.

- Artists from any country and any stage of their career are welcome.

- Multiple entries are encouraged to improve chances of winning.

The deadline for submissions is Jun 15, 2025. Late entries will not be accepted. Interested artists should act swiftly, as slots are limited and the competition is expected to receive a large number of entries due to its global popularity.

Whether you are an emerging artist looking to get your big break or an established artist seeking new exposure and funding, this is an opportunity not to be missed. TERAVARNA believes in providing a platform where talent, creativity, and passion are the only factors that matter.
