Winter 2008
All Media Online Competition
"Art Without Borders"
Our Goal
is to promote excellence in visual arts and provide a worldwide showcase for participants in all media. By hosting International Juried Online Exhibitions of the highest ethical standards we provide an opportunity for talented artists from around the world to receive global exposure and recognition.
LarkGallery OnLine (LOL) is united in its commitment to serve as a vehicle for facilitating this exposure between exceptionally talented visual artists.
A percentage of the funds we raise will help support The Dreaming Zebra Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provides young, low-income artists with the tools and resources they need to explore and develop their creativity.
Based in Santa Monica, CA, LOL looks forward to hosting multiple International Competitions throughout the year. Competitions are open to visual artists from around the world.
To enter our winter competition go to submissions.

They will be well known for both their knowledge and contributions to the art industry. They will include renowned international art critics, museum curators, art consultants, gallery owners and artists.
