Nova

A digital series of artist competitions

Nova is a bi-monthly digital competition from
New American Paintings.

Artists can apply to be featured in a curated digital publication highlighting 10–20 selected participants. While some editions accept open submissions, others will be organized around specific themes or concepts. Selections are made by the New American Paintings editorial team, and chosen artists are presented in a focused, digital-only format distributed free of charge to thousands of subscribers.
