Texas Equine is thrilled to announce the 2026 Online Horse-Themed Art Show Series! This is a celebration of creativity, horses, and all the ways people express their love of equine life through art. Whether you’re a professional artist, a young beginner, or simply someone who loves horses and creativity, this event is for YOU!

The shows are completely online, making it easy for artists of all ages to participate from anywhere. Placings and results will be announced the following month (April and September) in our News & Notes section at www.texaseeh.com/artshow and on our social media.

Divisions & Classes

Just like a horse show, entries are organized into Divisions based on age or status:

Division Name	Age Group
Level 1 Youth	Under 5
Level 2 Youth	6–10
Level 3 Youth	11–15
Level 4 Youth	16–18
Adult Amateur	19+
Vintage	65+
Open	All ages

Artists may enter as many Classes (art mediums) as they like, including: Acrylic, Oil, Watercolor, Ink, Graphite, Pastels, Colored Pencil, Digital Art, Photography, Mixed Media, Sculpture, Textile/Fiber Art, Crafts, Ceramics, and more. We will even have crayon classes and paint-by-number for less experienced artists who would still like to participate. We want to celebrate fine art and horses, but we want everyone to have fun too!

Entry Fee: $20 per class

Awards: Rosette ribbons for all participants; 1st–8th place recognized online. High Point and Reserve High Point awards for those entering 3+ classes in the same Division.

Submission Guidelines

All entries must include:

Clear, well-lit photos of artwork (2D: front only; 3D: front, sides, back + 360° video)
Title of artwork, Division, and Class
A photo of artist holding the artwork (because Ai is too rampant)
Completed entry form (available here)
Proof of payment

Entries must be submitted via the entry form by 11:59 PM on the posted deadline.

Tips & Inspiration for Your Entries

Photographing Your Artwork

Lighting: Use soft, natural light to make colors stand out. Avoid harsh shadows.
Background: Keep it plain and neutral to highlight your piece.
Angles: 2D art should be photographed straight-on; 3D art should include multiple angles plus a 360° video if possible.

Inspiration for Your Artwork

We encourage artists to explore all kinds of horse-themed creativity! Whether you prefer realistic portraits, abstract designs, playful pony scenes, equine landscapes, or any other style, your unique vision is what makes your artwork special. There’s no wrong way to express your love for horses — the most important thing is to have fun and let your creativity shine!

Encouragement for All Skill Levels

Beginner or experienced, young or old, your creativity is welcome. This show is about celebrating horses, having fun, and sharing your artistic voice.

Every submission is valued and appreciated.
