FLORA: Flower & Plant LIFE

The first annual FLORA art show is MettaGallery’s 14th online show. We invite you to explore the vibrant beauty and quiet strength of the natural world, centering on flowers and plant life. Whether your work is abstract or representational, we welcome your creative interpretations of the botanical world. Submit your pieces and join a global showcase of artists honoring the endless inspiration in our natural world.

Media Categories: Photography, Painting, Printmaking, Sketch/Illustration, Mixed-Media, and Digital Art*. 3D art accepted, as long as you understand this is an online show and it will be judged as a photograph. *Digital Art must be original and created by the artist in full or in part. AI as a tool is acceptable, as long as it is not the sole creator of the work. If you are unsure if your work is acceptable, don’t hesitate to email us.

No Shipping. This is an online show only. The image you upload will be your piece.

Artist handles all sales. MettaGallery does not sell your work, which means no commission! You will be able to enter a link to purchase for each piece.

Judge: TBD
