How Juried Art Shows Are Transforming International Art Competitions

The Silent Revolution: How TERAVARNA Juried Art Shows Are Breaking the Art World’s Glass Ceiling

The art world is undergoing a revolution, and it's happening without a sound and not in a high-end Fifth Avenue gallery or behind the velvet ropes of a fancy auction house. It's going online—country by country, brushstroke by brushstroke, photo by photo, and sculpture by sculpture. TERAVARNA International Art Gallery is a major driver in this revolution and the one that's changing the rules of what's being represented, celebrated, and rewarded in the art world.

For new artists and old, from traditional to innovative in style, TERAVARNA could be the most important platform you haven't used yet. With our juried art shows, you can show your creativity to the world, whether you are an emerging artist or an established one. 

TERAVARNA’s international art competitions are for everyone and open to all in all mediums. Explore more here.

A Name That Says It All

The term "Trillion colors" (literally, TERAVARNA) is reflected in all the gallery's activities. No longer a place for one style, one medium, and one type of artist. From oil painting to clay sculpture, to photography, digital design, and mixed media, TERAVARNA, a contemporary art gallery online, has created a platform for your art. It was created in the height of the pandemic when artists all over the world suddenly found themselves without exhibition opportunities, without galleries, and without audiences; its original mission was simple and profound: to make the world of art accessible to everyone.

This mission is definitely past its prime. To date, TERAVARNA has hosted a varied number of online juried shows, distributed over $186,000 in cash prizes, and developed a global network of over 15,000 artists. These are no small figures. These are the numbers formed by a motion.

Online Art Competitions for Every Creative Voice

One of the things that sets TERAVARNA International Art Competitions apart from others is its competitively themed feature: diversity. There are 21 themes ranging from abstract to figurative, portrait to landscape, animal to flower, color to open, and beyond.

So that the juried art shows are for every kind of artist. Internationally recognized artists, curators, and industry experts form a jury for each international art competition, ensuring a rigorous and fair evaluation.

Indeed, there is up to a $3500 cash prize for individual online art competitions, and there are many more things that you can win than cash. Artists who win are featured on TERAVARNA's website, on all of the social media platforms, in the monthly newsletter of the gallery, in the immersive VR exhibitions, and in some online juried art shows. TERAVARNA offers winners free representation for up to six months on one of the biggest online art marketplaces in the world—Artsy. It can be transformational for an emerging artist.

Participation in the online juried shows only takes a few minutes. Indeed, the participants will receive a professionally prepared certificate of recognition, and the experience of being critically assessed by an international jury is a very valuable experience to hone any artist's eye and ambition.

Beyond the Screen: Physical Exhibitions 

TERAVARNA, a contemporary art gallery online, is also known for the physical exhibitions, bringing works of art to the public in physical space.

While innovative digital tools have taken over, the TERAVARNA International Art Gallery has not forgotten the irreplaceable magic of being in a room with great art. Physical juried art shows or exhibitions are held in some of the world's most iconic cities, such as San Francisco, London, Budapest, and Los Angeles. A physical show provides artists with a platform where they can showcase their talent to a community of artists without gallery charges, as you can participate in the international art competition (only a participation fee is applicable) by TERAVARNA, and if your art gets selected in the juried art show, there are no other additional charges.

This is a real opportunity for artists to present their work to international collectors, buyers, curators, and press, which previously required the artist to have an expensive agent or many years of networking and can now be done in a few minutes with a single submission.

Community First, Always

In the eyes of artists, the experience in the TERAVARNA online art competitions has been characterized by two terms: professional and family-like. Amalgamation of this sort isn't seen very often in the first place. The team is known for its responsiveness, support, and dedication to the success of every artist that it represents. It's massive in a world where industries are at times cold and closed.

TERAVARNA International Art Gallery also fosters artists' development outside of international art competitions. It offers masterclasses and teaching courses, as well as creative tools to help artists develop and discover new techniques and interact with peers. It is not simply a competition platform; it's a creative residence for the long run.

The Call Is Open — It's for YOU!

The most revolutionary part of the TERAVARNA juried art shows is that it doesn't matter whether you are a freshly minted graduate and have just 3 paintings to your name or a seasoned professional with decades of exhibitions to your credit. Both are welcome. Both are valued. Both can win.

In a world that continually tells artists that they must wait years to be known, that their voice doesn't matter today, that their work is not good enough for today, and that their work doesn't deserve an audience today, TERAVARNA International Art Gallery tells artists otherwise.

This is the sign for you to start telling the world about your work if you've been waiting for the right moment!
