Purpose
Our online exhibitions attract thousands of viewers interested in art that is positive, uplifting and healing. We enjoy providing underrecognized artists widespread exposure to our international audience, direct more traffic to their websites, and expand their audience across several social media networks.
Unlimited Variations of Mixed Media
From oil paint that has been embellished with metal leaf, to a combination of recycled materials, to an integration of digital art with collage and so much more — when artists apply skill, innovation and imagination to their use of “Mixed Media” there are no limits to what they can achieve! We look forward to presenting a wide variety of “Inspirational Art in Mixed Media” to present the breadth and depth these extraordinary mixed media artists are capable of creating.

I am interested in your “Inspirational Art in Mixed Media”.>. I have been teaching “Abstract expressionism with acrylic paint and Mixed Media” at the Palos Verdes Art Center near Redondo Beach in So. Calif. for the last 28 years, and Im currently doing so “on line” for a class enrolled at the Art Center.
I have a M. A. Degree in painting and General Secondary teaching degree from Cal. State University at Los Angeles, Ca.
Hope to hear from you.
Thank you Dael
Thank you Dael for sharing your passion for teaching and creating art. I am so sorry Dael, the deadline for submitting art to “Inspirational Art in Mixed Media” was August 31. I hope you will subscribe to our email newsletter so you can learn about upcoming calls for artists. Best wishes, Renee
Hi Renee,
I will be entering this exhibition with great gusto.
Thank you Keith!
I like the category for multi-medium art work. I can’t wait to see other artists art. Renee, thank you.
I googled the number of pixels for 1MB and it turned out to be 1024×512 which is distorting my image. Please clarify the size you are requiring, for 300dpi. Thanks.
Dear Bela, Thank you for your interest in “Inspirational Art in Mixed Media”. The requirements: JPEG file size must not exceed 1 MB. Image size must not be less than 800 pixels length or width. I realize this can be confusing. The “file” size is different than the “jpeg” size. You do not need to submit a 300 dpi (dots per inch) resolution. 72-100 dpi is sufficient. To learn how to resize jpegs here is an article: If you don’t know how to resize jpegs read this article: https://www.wikihow.com/Resize-a-JPEG. I hope this helps you.
I have read this 3 times but as you know I have some cognitive disabilities. I have been on before Am I allowed to enter this again?
Note I will update my website yet again but they are working on it a lot.
Thanks

Dear Tommy, I hope all is well. Yes, you are invited to submit your art to “Inspirational Art in Mixed Media”. You may enter all of our open calls to artists. I hope this answers your question.
Renee,
If a multi-media piece of art sold, is it eligible for this exhibit?
Thank you in advance,

Hi Mary, Thank you for your interest in the “Inspirational Art in Mixed Media” and your question. I assume you meant to write “mixed media” and not “multi-media”. Yes, as stated on this page, the artwork in mixed media does not have to be available for sale. I hope this answers your question.
is there an application form for your call for artists 22nd July? I can easily just apply by email ans have your email details for paypal .
Dear Rosy,
Thank you for your interest in our “Inspirational Art in Mixed Media” call for artists. Yes, we will be posting an application form on July 22. There will be a link to paypal. I hope this answers your question. I look forward to seeing your entries. Best regards, Renee
