SUBJECT MATTER
|
The mission of this initiative is to encourage artists to develop and refine their classical art skills and spotlight their mastery by providing a new platform for showcasing contemporary-traditional works of art.
We ask artists to represent Winter Solace via contemporary-traditional methods. Any genre of work will be eligible for consideration. The works could depict a landscape powdered with fresh snow, a snapshot of a holiday tradition, or wildlife enjoying the Winter quiet. We do ask that artists submit work created in the last year, and encourage artists to represent their idealistic Winter utopia.
