1st Annual Online Juried Competition
“Forms and Fragments”

Suite 540 527 West 27th Street or 548 West 28th Street, New York, NY

October 1st 2026 – November 11th 2026

The Atlantic Gallery is proud to announce their 1st "Forms and Fragments" Online Art Competition for 2026. “Fragments and Forms” invites artists to explore the relationship between what is transformed, remembered, assembled, or broken, and the shapes those experiences become. This exhibition considers the beauty of what remains, what is reconstructed, and what emerges. From shattered histories to merging organic structures, artists are encouraged to interpret fragmentation and form in personal, political, material, or conceptual ways. Works may investigate memory, identity, landscape, culture, architecture, the body, or abstraction through literal or symbolic fragments and evolving forms considering how the parts relate to the whole.
