ARTnNCevents proudly presents Abstracts in America, a premier National Juried Exhibition celebrating the creativity, innovation, and expressive power of contemporary abstract art. This national exhibition invites artists from across the United States to explore abstraction in all its forms, showcasing work that challenges convention and pushes creative boundaries.
Abstract art is far more than traditional non-objective painting. We welcome artwork that transforms reality through color, composition, perspective, texture, shape, pattern, movement, and imagination. Whether your work begins with a recognizable subject that has been simplified, distorted, fragmented, or reimagined—or is completely non-representational—we encourage you to submit.
If your artwork emphasizes expression over literal representation, explores new visual ideas, or invites viewers to experience the familiar in unexpected ways, it belongs in the conversation. From geometric abstraction and expressive painting to abstract landscapes, florals, figures, mixed media, photography, digital art, and sculpture, Abstracts in America celebrates the many ways artists interpret abstraction
