The gallery’s competition for December 2023 was the 13th Annual “Botanicals” Online Art Competition. Both 2D and 3D, artists, from around the world, were called upon to make online submissions for possible inclusion in to the Gallery’s January 2023 online group art exhibition.
Artists were asked for their interpretation of the “Botanicals” theme by submitting their best abstract and/or representational art. The submission process and competition for the artists began in September 2022 and concluded on December 27, 2022.
The gallery received 655 entries from 21 different countries from around the world, as well as from 40 different states and the District of Columbia.
The exhibition has been divided into three media categories - Painting & Other Media, Photography & Digital and 3 Dimensional categories. In addition, there is an overall Winning Artists Category, which is the “best of the best” and consists of the twelve (12) best entries comprised from all the media categories.
The gallery also included Special Merit awards and Special Recognition awards for outstanding art. Many of the artists in either of these groups could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art was also exceptional.
All winning entries will now be featured on the Light Space & Time website homepage for the 3 months. Thereafter, the artworks and links to the artist’s websites will remain online in the Light Space & Time Archives.
Congratulations to our artists who made our 13th Annual “Botanicals” Art Exhibition so successful this month. At any time, we invite our winning artists and other interested visitors to link their websites to the Gallery’s archive page for further ongoing promotion.
