Artsy Shark Call for Artists Spring 2026

other · 2026-04-29

Hey! So, Artsy Shark is calling for artists to send in their work for a spring 2026 showcase, and the deadline is May 7, 2026. They’re open to all types of art, but no AI-generated stuff is allowed. There’s a $25 application fee that you can’t get back. If chosen, artists will get their portfolios and stories featured on the site, which has highlighted over 2,500 artists since 2010. Instead of looking at images, they’ll check out your online presence and website. If you've been showcased before, you can apply again after three years. They accept a variety of mediums, and you’ll get a PDF of your feature for promotion. Plus, they don’t take a cut from sales!
