Exhibition Dates  8/06/26 - 8/30/26

​​Deadline: 7/22/26


Drawing Rooms
“Sum Sum Summ-A-Time” 
Artsy Online Exhibit

Exhibition Dates 8/6/26 - 8/30/26
Submissions Due 7/22/26 
Artist Notification 7/26/26
It's summertime and we invite you to submit work for consideration in our Drawing Rooms exhibit, “Sum Sum Summ-A-Time”, the first online-only exhibition presented on Artsy.net!

Acceptable media includes painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, photography, sculpture, fiber or any other fine art medium. There is no size limitation!
We'd like to see works relating to the theme of summer:
  • scenes and places
  • summer food
  • leisure
  • flora and fauna
  • the colors, sensations and experiences of summertime
  • works you made during this or any other summer
  • works made in a warm weather climate
  • imagery of what you would like to do in the summer
  • work made during a summer residency program
  • anything else you can make a case for that relates to the concept of summer.





Let's capture summer's essence!
Many famous artists have created works on the theme of summer: Carole Feuerman’s bathing-capped swimmers, Milton Avery’s beach scenes inspired by summers in Massachusetts and Maine, Peter Doig’s warm-weather and tropical paintings made after his move to Trinidad, Gauguin’s Tahiti, Monet and Manet’s painting of French coastline beaches, David Hockney's swimming pool paintings, Alex Katz' Maine beach paintings- what about yours?

There are too many songs about summer—from Billie Holiday: Summertime, Earth Wind and Fire: Hot Fun in the Summertime, Beach Boys: California Girls, Lana Del Rey: Summertime Sadness, Ramones: Rockaway Beach, DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince: Summertime, The Beatles: Here Comes the Sun, to Weezer: Island in the Sun, and more, that we just can’t decide on our favorite!

Submissions Due 7/22/26
