Get matched →Submit your animal artwork for the 5th Annual Animal Portraiture Open, an international call for art. Wild Heart Gallery focuses on animal and wildlife artists, and this call will result in a virtual exhibition on wildheartgallery.com and social media channels. The gallery recently moved to Redlands, California, and currently focuses on virtual exhibitions. The mission is to promote wildlife and animal art in both non-traditional and traditional forms, embracing realism, abstraction, and various art styles.
For this art call, submit portraits of animals. Animal portraiture should communicate something about the animal, making the viewer feel like they know something about it. This can relate to its history, personality, pastimes, or habitat. The focus must be on the animal(s). All animal species are welcome: wild, domesticated, pet, feral, and rural/farm animals. This call is limited to portraiture. Feel free to incorporate humans, objects, landscapes, shapes, space, or anything else, as long as the work fits the theme and the focus is on the animal(s).
All styles of art are welcome as long as animal/wildlife portraiture is obviously the genre of the artwork/photograph. Artwork can be paintings, drawings, pastels, mixed media, print-making, sculpture in any form, fiber arts, metal art, collage, and original digital art (no AI). We have a category called, "Other Media," for artwork that is outside a listed medium or for digital works. All entries must feature an animal and must be the original artwork of the submitting artist. No AI generated art is allowed.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
