“Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind.” ~Magdalena Abakanowicz


Contemporary Art Gallery Online is proud to announce their 9th Annual “ALL Photography and Digital Art” Online Art Competition for 2021. 

Contemporary Art Gallery Online encourages entries from all 2D artists regardless of their experience and/or education in the art field or where they may reside.  This is an international competition and everyone is encouraged to participate.
