# AFTERIMAGE 2026

**Hosted by:** Palm Art Gallery

**Type:** Exhibition | **Location:** Los Angeles | **Deadline:** September 14, 2026 | **Entry fee:** $32

## About This Program

> "Afterimage — memory, the subconscious, and the emotional, cultural and visual impact of line, shape and form"

Afterimage is an international online art exhibition that invites painters, digital artists, photographers, and mixed-media creators to explore the emotional, cultural, and visual impact of Line, shape, and form. We welcome your interpretation if you create abstract masterpieces, surreal dreamscapes, or hyperrealistic scenes! An art show that explores this hidden side of creation — where memories, emotions, and dreams surface through form and color.

Memory and the subconscious play a quiet but powerful role in art creation. All visual styles, subjects, and artistic approaches are welcome. Artworks will be judged based on creativity, originality, quality of work, composition, and overall artistic ability. Artist benefits include a lifetime link to your dedicated artist page, exposure to over 10,000 art buyers, collectors, and subscribers, opportunity to auction selected artwork online, a featured artist interview to strengthen collector engagement, ongoing online visibility and promotional exposure, and Instagram promotion to boost sales.

Selected artists also receive a free online profile page on the Palm Art Gallery platform and an invitation to join partner gallery Artmajor. Each month, Palm Gallery will select one artist from among those featured in our exhibitions to be recognized as Artist of the Month, receiving a short interview and a permanent lifetime link on PalmGallery.art.
