Welcome to Fusion Art's Special "Holidays & Traditions" International Art Exhibition.

For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists were invited to share their best artwork depicting holidays and traditions. A tradition is a long-established custom or belief that has been passed on from generation to generation. Fusion Art wanted to see how you celebrate and what makes holidays and traditions special and unique to your family and friends. All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best holidays & traditions art and photography.

We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists around the world including the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.

In this special "Holidays & Traditions" themed exhibition Fusion Art presents awards in three categories: Traditional Art, Digital Art & Photography and 3-Dimensional Art. The Best in Show winners are Kathy Paulus for her pastel, “Christmas Light Reflections", Tracey Rominger for her photograph, "Red Star" and Chelita Riojas for her aluminium sculpture, "Christmas Pinecone." As the Best in Show winners, all three artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art's 3rd Annual Group Show in Palm Springs in February 2019.

Other award winners include Second Place winners, Richard Haskins for his acrylic on canvas, "The Santa Train" and Kevin Morris for his photograph, "8 Crazy Nights". Third Place awards were given to Toni Silber-Delerive for her acrylic on canvas, "Colorful Cupcakes," and Barbara Mierau-Klein for her digital art, "Christmas Tree". Fourth Place awards were given to Leah Dockrill for her watercolor on paper, "A Special Holiday Cake" and SweatPea's Lenz by DarsellB for her photograph, "The Sugar Plum Fairy". Fifth Place awards were given to Candace Cima for her watercolor on paper, "Ethan" and Brandie Ferguson for her photograph, "Emmi".

Please visit the Holidays & Traditions Winners Page to learn more about each of these award winning artists and/or to contact them directly about their work. These top award winners will also receive an invitation to include their award winning artwork in Fusion Art's gallery on Artsy.net.

The remaining finalists in the exhibition all exemplify uniquely creative talents and we're honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.

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 to see the Holidays & Traditions video for the exhibition.

Thank you for visiting our website and enjoy the exhibition!
