Virtual Art Gallery
Welcome to the Mossflower Academy art gallery!
Calling all Mossflower Academy artists ages 4-18!
We will be accepting submissions for our Winter 2023 collection until January 22, 2023
Would you like to see your artwork in a live virtual gallery? Submit your artwork into one of the following categories. Our theme is:
FAVORITE THINGS
What are some of your favorite things ever? Playing Minecraft? Baking cupcakes and sharing them with your friends? Maybe you really love watching the bees gathering nectar among the dandelions in your yard.
Get creative with this prompt: choose a moment in time that you stopped to appreciate Jehovah's creations, or something that always makes you feel happy or smile even when you're sad. Can you recreate that moment?
You can use any medium you like (excluding video), including photography, textile art, collage, fine art, etc. Along with your art submission, feel free to include a short description to explain your artwork. You can even include a poem, scripture or quote.
Please be aware of the following guideline: due to the limited number of pieces that we can include on the gallery walls, not all submissions will be selected for the final gallery. Ms. Astrid & our volunteer gallery crew will determine the final curation based on how closely these instructions are followed, so please read all details below!
(Note: art submissions that are not selected for the exhibit will be included in a digital magazine, and will be welcome to participate in all future exhibitions.)

Submission Guidelines and Requirements:
-
All media is eligible for consideration (excluding videos): all visual arts, painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and digital art. We are open to seeing other mediums as well. We are open to many different styles and formats and thinking and creating outside of the box.
-
Submissions must be made online via our submission form. All required fields MUST be completed. Your artwork can be scanned in or you can take a photograph and submit a high quality jpg image.
-
Submission deadline is January 22, 2023. Gallery goes live to the public by February 1, 2023.
-
Your upload must accompany online payment of $1 (USD) or will not be recognized. This small fee is applied toward the cost of purchasing access to the custom virtual exhibition website. It is a non-refundable fee and no changes of images can be made after you submit without another entry fee.
-
Due to limited wall space, we cannot guarantee that all artwork will be included in the public gallery. The decision to accept entries is based solely on the overall collection being curated in the gallery. However, any submissions not selected for the gallery will be included in our free digital magazine. The virtual exhibit will be published and accessible online to the public.
-
Artists may choose to submit as many pieces as they like, into multiple categories that apply, but they must be separate entries, each with a separate $1 fee. For examples, you may enter a piece in the Traditional Arts categories for your age group as well as another piece for the Digital Arts category. The total fee would be $2.
-
Submission image size: Uploads should be a JPG file only, with a maximum size of 10 MB. If the image is too large it will be resized, but the quality may be affected. This may result in the submission being pulled from the gallery selection. You are encouraged to sign your work.
-
Important!! Your files should be renamed as follows: First name Last name_Title of the piece.jpg, making sure that underscores go between your name and the name of the piece (i.e. Pablo Picasso_The Old Guitarist.JPG). Please rename your image before uploading it to the submission form.
-
All entrants grant Mossflower Academy the right to use or publish images of their work to promote the art exhibits, future call for entries or videos. While in general, Mossflower Academy only advertises to confirmed, private JW groups and forums, be aware that all accepted entries can be placed on this website or blog and other social media sites that are publicly visible.
-
Copyright info: in the case of fan art or the use of quotes, there is no restriction on using copyrighted characters as our gallery is considered non-commercial and not-for-profit. However, if your medium is photography and you are using a model (for example, if your submission is a cosplay DIY), you must have obtained written permission of any people featured in the entries and/or their parents/guardians if children under 18 are featured. Artist is fully responsible to obtain all model or property releases.
