Art and Resistance through Education
Submit your art by Friday, July 15 at 11:59 pm ET!
What is the contest?
Art is a universal language for us to share our voices, tell our stories, and act as a medium for change. Here at ARTE, we aim to emphasize the power of art and invite you to do the same.
The ARTivism (Art + Activism) Art Contest asks young artists, ages 13-18, to submit visual art pieces that comment on a personal experience or issue related to a broader theme in our society.
Please see the page below for examples of art pieces ARTE's Junior Board, who created and organized this contest, find relevant and inspirational.
Who can submit art?
The contest is open to artists ages 13-18 from anywhere across the United States.
Who are the judges?
The results of the ARTivism Art Contest will be decided by a team of judges from ARTE. To learn more about the ARTE team, follow this link. To learn more about the contest organizers, ARTE's Junior Board, click here.
