 The International Guild of Realism (IGOR) is proud to announce a Call for Entries for our upcoming IGOR 2024 Fall Salon Online Juried Exhibition. After numerous successful Online Exhibitions in terms of sales, marketing exposure and magazine articles, we are very excited about our upcoming Fall Salon for IGOR members only. Many IGOR artists have thoroughly enjoyed these online exhibitions, especially our international members since no shipping is required unless the artwork sells.
This exhibition will be an online juried exhibition and will feature Cash Awards, National Art Magazine Articles, Prizes, and Gift Certificates! Most, if not all, award categories will offer a cash prize or a major award certificate. You will be able to enter paintings that are already sold and paintings that are for sale. We will have our usual ad marketing campaign and the entire juried show will be listed on our IGOR website and mobile version. Plus the entire show will be on the new and improved American Art Collector magazine’s website with links back to IGOR. AAC magazine will be doing several e-blasts promoting the Fall Salon to their 180,000 collector list! We will be employing an art broker with over 25 years in the art business to assist IGOR with sales. Artists will receive 75% of sales price if paintings are sold and won’t have any shipping expense unless your painting sells. IGOR members will have another vehicle to sell paintings with increased marketing exposure and a chance to win cash and prize awards. |

The International Guild of Realism has recently completed the final jury results for our 2024 Fall Salon Online Exhibition. We had a huge number of paintings entered (over 700), and without a doubt, the quality was at a very high level. Thanks again, for entering our Fall Salon and for submitting such wonderful artwork.
Once again we received an amazing array of superb entries and our jury committee was quite impressed with the quality and creativity of the work entered. After reviewing the images over a week period, the final jury was completed. Deciding upon a limited number of paintings/drawings wasn’t an easy accomplishment, and the jurors could not resist adding many more pieces to this exhibition than originally planned. A high percentage of the entered IGOR artists made it through to the final jury so please realize that you always have a good chance at being juried into a future IGOR event because of our small and juried only membership. We have artists from over 20 countries represented in the Fall Salon Final Jury including Canada, England, Norway, France, USA, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Malta, Holland, Indonesia, Philippines, Mexico, Greece, Australia, France and Spain. Plus we have a huge diversity of media in the exhibition including Acrylic, Watercolor, Oil, Soft Pastel, Colored Pencil, Gouache, Graphite, Pastel, Ink, Egg Tempera, and Scratchboard.
Congratulations to this year's selected artists!

We believe that selling paintings online will be the wave of the future, especially with younger art buyers, so we will be giving a strong effort to make this a success in many ways. Plus sales have been very good in our past online exhibitions. We will have the juried exhibition listed on major art websites including our active IGOR website and new state of the art website of American Art Collector magazine. Every painting will be listed on these websites and interested collectors will be directed to our IGOR art broker with over 25 years in the art business. We will market the Fall Salon Online Exhibition on numerous social networking sites including Instagram and the IGOR YouTube Channel. IGOR artists can enter "Sold" paintings along with paintings that will be "For Sale". All juried paintings will be eligible for the IGOR Awards!
