Are you an artist passionate about creating a positive impact in our community? If yes, then this is an excellent opportunity for you. Village Engage will highlight youth art during an annual forum that brings community members together. This year’s theme, 'finding common ground', is based on the idea that building relationships and an understanding of different points of view will lead to better, more sustainable community solutions. The forum includes music, spoken word and visual arts as a way to foster deeper understanding and positive relationships with others.
How to Participate:
You are invited to create an original piece of artwork (painting, drawing, collage or digital art) that represents the theme of finding common ground. You should submit your artwork and a description (100 words or less) explaining how it relates to the theme.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive cash prizes up to $100.
Rules:
The contest is open to individuals aged 10-18.
Each participant can submit only one artwork.
Artwork should be accompanied by a short description (100 words or less) explaining how it relates to the theme of finding common ground.
The deadline is July 30, 2024. The winners will be announced on August 15, 2024.
How to Submit:
Mail or hand deliver the artwork, and a description, to Mill Village Ministries/Village Engage, 1186 Pendleton Street, Greenville, SC 29611. Artwork can be picked up after the forum on October 16th.
