2026 ALL Color

Art Exhibition & Competition Prospectus

"Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings." — Wassily Kandinsky

Contemporary Art Gallery Online is proud to announce their 12th Annual “ALL Color” Online Art Competition for 2022.

Contemporary Art Gallery Online encourages entries from all 2D and 3D artists regardless of their experience and/or education in the art field or where they may reside.  This is an international competition, and everyone is encouraged to participate. A group exhibition of all entrants will be held online at the Contemporary Art Gallery Online for thirty days immediately following the close of the competition..  

Artists should submit their best representational and non-representational art related to the "ALL Landscape" theme. The “ALL Landscape” theme is considered to be any art that depicts the natural world, outdoor scenery, geographical environments, and related landscape subjects.   However, water scenes need to comprise no more than 25% of the image to be considered for this theme. Here is a link to one of our favorite EXHIBITIONS, so as to better demonstrate this month's theme.

This competition will be judged within three categories: Paintings/Drawings, Photography/Digital Art, Mixed Media, and 3 Dimensional Work. Computer-enhanced or AI-created art must be disclosed and will not be eligible for the Paintings/Drawing category. Awards will be given to the top 6 to 8 works selected in each category (depending on the number of submissions), including Best in Show, Judges’ Choice, and Gallery Choice. Additional awards will also be presented, depending on the number and the quality of all submissions received. Award-winning artists will be included in a group show both online and in the Ramsey Art Gallery located in the Historic District of Hollins Market, located in Baltimore, Maryland.

We are excited to see your art!
