Call for Artists: “Weird” Online Show, June 11-13, 2026

Artburst Studios is now accepting applications for our upcoming online exhibition, Weird. This fast-paced, high-impact show will feature up to 30 selected artists on a cutting-edge platform designed to connect original artwork with passionate collectors.

Our shows are more than just online galleries—they’re curated experiences that celebrate creativity, generate sales, and foster meaningful connections.

What You’ll Gain

• Present a cohesive collection of 8–12 original works
• Receive your own dedicated artist page on the Artburst Studios website
• Engage with collectors during a focused 50+ hour event
• Ship sold work directly to buyers—no need to send art in advance
• Be part of a supportive artist community with professional promotion

Theme:  “Weird”

Whether it’s wonderfully odd, mysteriously strange, or playfully peculiar, we’re all in on the unexpected. Let your imagination run wild and your art get a little… offbeat. This is your invitation to break the mold, bend reality, and show us what weird means to you.

Artists are encouraged to apply early, as space is limited. Applications will close once the roster is full, or by January 15, 2026 — whichever comes first.
