“The urban environment is chock-full of... symbols – street signs, lights, arrows, figures and trees... They provide a distinctive sparkle and reality to cityscapes.” ~Sidney Hermel
Welcome to Fusion Art's 6th Annual Cityscapes International Online Juried Art Exhibition for the month of July 2021.
For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists were encouraged to share their best art and photography depicting cities, towns, urban scenes and/or any related metropolitan subjects. All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best work in any media.
We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world, including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, India, Italy, China, Latvia and Hungary. Overall, the gallery judged 343 entries and accepted 121 artworks into the exhibition, which will be featured on the website for the month of July.
In this monthly themed exhibition, Fusion Art presents awards in three categories: Traditional Art, Photography & Digital Art, and 3-Dimensional Art. The Cityscapes Best in Show winners are Feng Fei for her tempra, “Outside the Window”, Paul M. Murray for his digital photograph, "Havana Living #1” and M.A. Bailey for his glass mosaic on charred wood (Yakisugi), "Urbanoise”. Feng, Paul and M.A. are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month of July 2021 and, as the Best in Show winners, all three artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art's Annual Group Show in Palm Springs, California in 2022.

The remaining finalists in the exhibition all exemplify uniquely creative talents and we're honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.
Fusion Art strives to create interesting and enjoyable art exhibitions with a variety of artistic styles and media represented. The art that is selected is based on the theme of the exhibition and the gallery's objective is to include, in every Fusion Art exhibition, a broad representation of quality, style, media, creativity, originality and artistic composition. Art tells a story and we strive to select artwork, particularly for awards, that make the viewers think and wonder what story the artist is trying to tell.
As always, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the competition participants. While not all the artwork that was submitted was selected for inclusion in the exhibition this in not necessarily a reflection on any one artist's talent and/or skill. It takes courage for artists to offer up one's art up for critique by others and all the artists should be applauded for their efforts. We appreciate all of you sharing your extraordinary talent with us.
For anyone interested in purchasing any of the artwork in this exhibition, please contact the artists directly. You will find the artist's website and/or email information below their work.
Please visit our YouTube Archives or our YouTube Channel to see the slide show compilation videos for the exhibition.
Thank you for visiting our website and enjoy the exhibition!
