HMVC Gallery presents [Vibrant Visions 3]

November is being redefined by vibrant colors, moving beyond its usual dull perception. The evolution of pigments, starting from a limited palette to the rich hues of Lapis Lazuli and the bold designs of the 1800s, has led to today’s neon colors. The "Vibrant Visions 3" initiative encourages artists to create vivid and intriguing works that celebrate boldness and the artistic spirit of the season.

We welcome artworks from all mediums of visual art, except AI-created art.

AWARDS:

All Artists participating in the online group show will be featured on our Website and Virtual Gallery. All artists will be awarded an HMVC Gallery New York certificate of participation. A video clip of “Vibrant Visions 3” featuring all participating artists’ artworks will be screened on a jumbotron billboard in New York City’s famous Times Square later in November.

Best of show winner: $150
Second place winner: $100
Third place winner: Online Solo Show
All Artworks: Times Square Jumbotron Billboard (when possible)

November may be one of the darkest months of the year, but we’re flipping the script and turning up the color!

Forty thousand years ago, the human color palette was limited to just five pigments—red, yellow, brown, black, and white—yet with them, early creators filled the caves of Sulawesi and Altamira with enduring visions. Centuries later, the color blue, ground from precious Lapis Lazuli, became more valuable than gold, reserved solely for religious artworks.

In the 1800-century, Pink, a blend of red and white, was assigned to boys and considered too bold for young girls. And as we moved on to the 2000-century, we invented Neon colors, an electrified spectrum that amplified the primary and secondary colors.

 “Vibrant Visions 3” calls on artists who treat color as their power source. We’re looking for artworks that burst off the wall, ignite curiosity, and bring heat to the cool season. Whether your work radiates neon intensity, lush saturation, or unexpected chromatic twists, this show celebrates artists who aren’t afraid to go vivid, go daring, and go all‑in on color.

We welcome artworks from all mediums of visual art, except AI-created art, and video/film.

★ Digital entries must be received by October 29th, 2026 before 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

★ Notification of acceptance will be sent by email by October 31st.

★ The show will premiere on November 1st and end on
