🔥 FIRE HORSE 2026 | CALL FOR ARTISTS 🔥

Vision Arts Gallery invites artists of all mediums* to ignite their creativity for Fire Horse 2026, a dynamic exhibition inspired by the Chinese Zodiac’s most powerful and fast-moving year. This is a celebration of passion, freedom, strength, momentum, and fearless creativity. If your work moves, burns, charges forward, or refuses to stand still, this show is calling you.

Submissions open February 10 during gallery hours and close February 17, the official first day of the Lunar New Year. Accepted works will be on view throughout February, with a People’s Choice Awards Reception held during First Friday Arts Walk on March 6, 5–7 PM. Artists do not need to attend the reception to be eligible to win.

The Year of the Fire Horse (Chì Mǎ) is rare, arriving only once every 60 years. It carries intense, fast-paced energy, encouraging bold action, innovation, independence, and creative breakthroughs. Fire Horse energy moves quickly and rewards artists willing to take risks, trust their instincts, and create without restraint.

Artists are encouraged to share their submitted work on personal social media to rally votes for the People’s Choice Awards and help amplify the collective energy of the show.

So light the fuse. Break out your brushes, tools, textures, and techniques. Let 2026 begin in motion.

All mediums accepted.
