Welcome to Fusion Art’s 3rd Annual Colors International Online Juried Art Exhibition for the month of February 2019.

For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists were encouraged to share their best art and photography using a concentration of colors. One color or multiple colors met the criteria for this open (no theme) competition.  All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best art and photography.

Fusion Art strives to create interesting and enjoyable art exhibitions with a variety of artistic styles and media represented. The art that is selected is based on the theme of the exhibition and the gallery’s objective is to include, in every Fusion Art exhibition, a broad representation of quality, style, media, creativity, originality and artistic composition. Art tells a story and we strive to select artwork, particularly for awards, that make the viewer think and wonder what story the artist is trying to tell.

As always, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the competition participants. While not all the artwork that was submitted was selected for inclusion in the exhibition this in not necessarily a reflection on any one artist’s talent and/or skill.  It takes courage for artists to offer up one’s art up for critique by others and all the artists should be applauded for their efforts. We appreciate all of you sharing your extraordinary talent with us.

For anyone interested in purchasing any of the artwork in this exhibition, please contact the artists directly. You will find the artist’s website and/or email information below their work.

Please visit our YouTube Channel on February 5th to see the Traditional, Digital & Photography and 3-Dimensional videos for the exhibition.
