Fusion Art is pleased to announce it is now accepting entries for two new international online juried art competitions.

Palm Springs, CA, USA — Fusion Art is pleased to announce it is now accepting entries for two new international online juried art competitions.

The 2nd Annual “Figures & Faces” competition is open for submissions for an online exhibition in December 2016.

For this competition artists and photographers are encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of the human form – both figures and faces. The exhibition will be hosted on Fusion Art’s website during the month of December 2016.

Cash prizes will be awarded in two categories – “Traditional” Art and “Digital Art & Photography” and the Best in Show winners receive invitations to participate in Fusion Art’s group exhibition in Palm Springs, CA in 2017. The deadline to apply for “Figures & Faces” is November 26, 2016.

Fusion Art also invites submissions for its first quarterly group online exhibition. The theme for the exhibition is “Watercolor”.

For this competition, artists, worldwide, are encouraged to submit their best watercolor artwork. The competition is open to all artists working in water media. Paintings must be two-dimensional and must consist of water-based media on paper or synthetic paper surface.

Five to ten artists will be chosen to participate in the online group exhibition. The exhibition will remain on the website for three months starting on January 15, 2017. Artists will receive extensive worldwide marketing and promotion to make the art world aware of them and their work. The deadline to apply for “Watercolor” is December 17, 2016.

For both competitions, the artwork can range from realism to surrealism to abstraction and artists, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit.

Each month Fusion Art hosts uniquely themed art competitions and exhibitions. Both winners and finalists are provided with worldwide exposure, by having their work promoted through Fusion Art’s website, in 70+ press release announcements, email marketing, online event calendars, art news websites and through the gallery’s social media outlets. The gallery’s objective is to promote the artists, worldwide, to art professionals, gallerists, collectors and buyers.

Founded by Award winning artist, Chris Hoffman, Fusion Art was envisioned and formed out of a passion for art and the artists who create it. The website promotes and connects new, emerging and established artists with collectors and art enthusiasts, while offering the opportunity to participate in art competitions and experiences.

Michele A. Congdon Named as New Featured Artist

Light Space & Time is very pleased to announce that Michele A. Congdon is the gallery’s new featured artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (September 16, 2013) — Light Space & Time is very pleased to announce that Michele A. Congdon is the gallery’s new featured artist. Michele will now be featured by the gallery for her outstanding landscape and nature watercolors.

Michele has created a distinct personal style that, while eclectic, is consistent but never static. Her paintings are an invitation to take the journey with her, sharing in the excitement of discovery.

Michele’s father was a painter, and he introduced her to art at an early age. She soon discovered that holding a brush gave her intense pleasure. Although oil was the medium she learned first, Michele has embraced watercolor as her chosen means of expression. Mostly self-taught, Michele has built a library of art instruction and reference works. Constantly honing her skills and learning new techniques keeps her perspective fresh and her interest high.

Michele is an Associate Member of the American Watercolor Society. She is a member of the Alliance of Professional Artists. Many of her pieces are in private collections. She has a corporate installation at Wright Risk Management and Congdon, Flaherty and O’Callaghan in Garden City, NY and has a first place for watercolor landscape at the Long Island Fair in 2012. Michele’s pieces ‘Lake and Lilies’ and ‘Iris’ were chosen for the 2011 all member show of the Northeast Watercolor Society of which she is an Associate member. Michele was invited to the NY Botanical Garden as an Expert for their Azalea Garden opening Create and Capture Weekend in May 2011 and regularly shows her work online at Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery. Michele’s website is http://www.macwatercolors.com.
