【CaRt26 | Contemporary Art in Realism – 3rd International Juried Exhibition】
✨ What an incredible opening night! ✨
A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the reception last Friday! The gallery was filled with vibrant conversations, creative energy, and outstanding contemporary realist artwork. ✨
We are so grateful to our talented artists and wonderful community for making the evening such a success. Here are some highlights from the opening reception!
🌟 This powerful realism exhibition runs through July 25 and features 47 artworks by 30 talented artists from across the United States and Spain.
From captivating portraits and expressive figurative works to striking landscapes and still lifes, CaRt26 showcases the diversity and excellence of contemporary realism today.
Featuring several impressive large-scale works, this exhibition offers an experience that simply cannot be fully appreciated through photographs alone. The scale, craftsmanship, and presence of these artworks are best experienced in person.
If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t miss this bold and inspiring exhibition!
