Colors of Humanity Art Gallery - "Animals" 2023

The art that is created today is how this time period will be viewed tomorrow. We want to make a difference in the lives of artists as well as a positive change in the world.

We are an online art gallery that can offer different benefits than a physical art gallery. Such as international exposure, works will be archived and able to be viewed over and over giving you constant exposure, building traffic to your website, no cost in transporting artwork, no risk of your work being damaged, and we are commission free!

Theme- According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of animal is: “an·i·mal n. any living thing that is not a plant." It can be expressed many ways and we look forward to seeing your interpretation.

Pay It Forward- We will be donating 10% of all entry fees from this show to the Humane Society. Our local center, Bedford County Humane Society (in Pennsylvania, USA), receives no government funding and is not a United Way agency. Instead, the generosity of individual and corporate supporters allows the continued operation and growth of the many programs and services. The BCHS provides services for more than 1000 animals each year. For more information about BCHS, please visit their website http://www.bchsonline.org/ Colors of Humanity Art Gallery, LLC is not affiliated with the Bedford County Humane Society.

All accepted works will be displayed with the artist name, title of work, and a link back to their website, or email address if they do not have a website.
