One of the greatest obstacles artists face is not a lack of talent, opportunity, or ambition—it is the persistent voice of self-doubt that appears whenever something meaningful is at stake. That voice becomes especially loud when considering an exhibition juried by a respected curator, gallery director, museum professional, or influential figure in the art world. Juniper Rag will be offering wellness workshops to artists this fall to help remove imposter syndrome clouds and help artists show up.

Juniper Rag Presents TORN: An International Virtual Exhibition with Guest Juror, David Carson. We present 36 artists from around the world selected by one of the most legendary designers in history.

Juniper Rag announces TORN, a dynamic virtual exhibition on juniperrag.com. Known for creating new pathways for artists to exhibit their work, expand networks, and connect with collectors, Juniper Rag continues to challenge traditional art world structures with this bold, globally accessible show.

The future of the gallery is not exclusively physical. It is hybrid and we have been developing it since we began Juniper Rag. Through virtual exhibitions and in-person shows we believe access to the arts and audiences is important no matter where you live. Big news is coming…we see you.

At Juniper Rag, one of our greatest privileges of hosting and curating exhibitions after these five founding years is witnessing the early trajectories of artists whose work evolves and quietly announces that something significant is unfolding. Long before broader recognition arrives, there are moments when an artist's vision feels undeniable. For us, Sylvie Mayer is one of those artists.

Every once in a great while, we encounter a situation that reminds us that the world is a very mysterious place, so inter-connected and magical than we can’t actually wrap our heads around what we see or experience.

For years, Juniper Rag has observed that some of the most meaningful forms of artist support happen outside traditional institutional settings. We champion collaborative environments and encourage peer-to-peer relationships.

The exhibition Creativity over Silence asks artists to respond to the events of the last year and a half through their own artistic vision. Artists have the capacity to generate new ideas, illuminate where differences and joint passions lie, and reveal truths ignored by mainstream media. By bringing together these artists and their works, the show seeks to open up a dialogue between artists and between artists and their audiences.

You can’t fully prevent copying—but you can make it much harder and less useful for anyone who tries. Here are a few suggestions to deter unauthorized use from Juniper Rag.

Art is powerful. As artists, be careful what you wish for —the financial impact of success is real. In this post we break down hidden costs, pricing and dig deep into the realities.

At Juniper Rag, we speak often about intention. Intention in mark-making. Intention in material. Intention in how work occupies space. What we don’t speak about enough is intention in file preparation for our virtual exhibitions.

At Juniper Rag, our mission has always been simple but powerful: to advocate and elevate all visual artists, create inclusive and meaningful opportunities for visibility and sales, and build a platform rooted in integrity, intentionality, and care. As we grow, we’ve had thoughtful questions about our $35 submission fee and we believe transparency is the foundation of trust within any creative community.

Presenting your artwork beautifully is just as important as creating it. Ship with intention. Pack with purpose. Deliver your art the way it deserves to be received: beautifully, securely, and with the level of care that turns buyers into lifelong collectors.

Juniper Rag promotes artists. Part of our value is sharing your Reels on our platform to engage more viewers. We have researched how to best optimize sharing your video content on Instagram and not get punished by their algorithms. Original content is king and we want to be strategic about sharing and teach our artists how to get the greatest reach.

Kristin Petrillo, one of our Curator’s Choice Awardees, embodies the rare balance of technical mastery, conceptual depth, and an unwavering commitment to craft. In a saturated art world, it’s the curator’s eye that elevates an artist’s brilliance, and Kristin’s work commands that recognition.

Announcing the Curators’ Choice, Viewers’ Choice and Honorable Mentions of Artists on Fire 2025. There’s a moment—quiet but absolutely electric—when you stand before a piece of art and feel it excite your eyes and your mind before you understand it.

ARTISTS, PAUSE THE PANIC MODE 
We hear artists talk about stress and anxiety all the time. Panic leads to stress that kills your creativity. Your audience needs a constant flow, not a big push a couple times a year. Create opportunities for spontaneity in your work and community. Reconnect with your imagination and invest in your community. Juniper Rag offers 5 ways to re-engage, reconnect and recoup some energy to put back into your practice. Plus bonus business planning tips.

It is the 250 year anniversary of the American Revolution. We are connected to Worcester, we come from twenty year careers in the printing industry and one of our co-founders is a major history and Worcester pride nerd. We can’t let the occasions of this even go one without sharing the incredible significance with our Juniper Rag community. It is unity and hope that brought on the revolution in the first place. The revolution began in Worcester, Massachusetts—-a year before.
