Artists seeking meaningful gallery exposure in a premier coastal destination are invited to submit to Art Scene West’s 3rd Annual Juried Art Exhibition. This exhibition presents a unique opportunity for both emerging and established artists across all mediums to showcase their talent, technique, and originality to a new and broad audience.
Selected artists will have their work exhibited for 55 days at Art Scene West, located in Seaport Village—one of Southern California’s most iconic waterfront destinations.
This opportunity is designed to elevate artists’ visibility, provide professional recognition, award their accomplishments, and connect their creative vision with art collectors in San Diego and visiting from around the world. Selected works will be featured both inside our gallery and online at our website, available for sale to collectors and art enthusiasts alike.
Awards include cash prizes and special recognition during the 55 day exhibition.
Participating in this show is an opportunity to advance your art career, strengthen your professional portfolio, and place your work before a world-class audience in one of America’s most visited destinations, making it an ideal addition to any artist’s C.V.
