Event History

All of our 2020 and 2021 art competitions were a resounding success. In the last month alone, $1,700 in cash prizes was given out to 25 talented artists. There were several other gifted artists who were also quite deserving of the prize money and could have as easily won the competition.

What Makes this event different?

Art Show International is aware of artists' preferences and needs during these unprecedented times. We aim to distribute prize money equitably to help out the maximum number of artists in our community. Winners receive exceptional recognition in their fields. Cash prize awards are unrestricted with no strings attached. Two separate art competitions are held each month. Long term and permanent residency with our gallery is also available where we represent you and your art and promote you in our newsletters and social media. We pride ourselves as having the best services for all visual artists. We will help you out in any way we can.
