In Full Bloom

J. Mane Gallery invites submissions for its In Full Bloom botanical and floral online juried art exhibition.  

Throughout the history of art, certain subjects have resonated particularly strongly with artists and audiences alike. Trends reveal art's most popular muses, with flowers at the forefront.

Rooted in ancient art and still prevalent today, depictions of blossoms, blooms, and other botanical elements can be found in many of the most significant art movements, whether carved into clay or starring in a still-life. 

For this competition, artists are encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of botanical and floral art. Botanical subjects can include flowers, herbs, fruit, leaves, plants, and related botanical and floral subjects. The artwork can vary from realism to surrealism to abstraction, and all media are accepted, including 3-D. All artists over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit their best-inspired work.
