"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." ~Edgar Degas Fusion Art invites submissions for the Everything Abstract 2026 (formerly Colorful Abstractions) art competition for an online exhibition during the month of November 2026. This is the 13th annual abstracts competition the gallery has run. For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists, worldwide, are invited to submit their best nonobjective or nonrepresentational art using any subject matter and any media. All artists, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit their best abstract art and photography. Here is a link to the Everything Abstract 2025 Art Exhibition in order to help artists see what type of art was accepted in the past. The deadline to enter this competition is October 15, 2026. Revised Schedule for This Competition From September 15th to October 15th, we'll be traveling through Europe exploring art in person after 8 years without a real break - so we're adjusting our schedule accordingly. The submission deadline for the Everything Abstract 2026 Art Competition is moving from our usual 1st to October 15, 2026, and the exhibition opening will shift to November 1st. To balance out the later opening, the exhibition will run for an extra month on the website, giving your work more time on display.
