Artist participation is by invitation only, and the collection is selected with great care each year. As a result, Spotlight on Art has developed a reputation for introducing art lovers to the best up-and-coming talent, as well as new works by established artists. We are proud to have played a part in the success of hundreds of historically significant artists whose work has been added to the collections of museums such as the High Museum of Art, The National Gallery, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art, and many others on five continents.
The application for the 2026 Artists Market are open now through September 1.
