For the third Contest of Muses, this year’s theme is “prayer.”

Society-wide changes and turmoil brought about by COVID-19 have left us all feeling fatigued, and this year’s participating artists have responded by creating “muses” that reflect upon and lament our current situation while also serving as prayers for a brighter future.

In addition to contributions from young artists, experienced members of the art world are providing works for the exhibition as a show of support.
Through this event, viewers can enjoy powerful, impressive pieces from seasoned artists as well as a contest among the fresh and vibrant muses of young artists.
