Description

Winning art will be featured in North Light Books’ hardbound showcase of the best in contemporary acrylic. North Light Books will showcase the best of the best in a variety of styles and subjects.

Prizes
All winners will appear in the sixth edition of AcrylicWorks .

Creative energy is the driving force of what it means to be an artist, and how an artist chooses to use that energy is what sets one apart from the others. Some may choose energetic brush strokes creating movement that seems to dance across the canvas. Others may select colors that represent a feeling behind their emotional energy for a particular work. For others still, the creative energy may take a more behind-the-scenes role, one in which perhaps the artist is the only person who can truly know the source of inspiration.

AcrylicWorks 6 will celebrate creative energy and excellence in acrylic painting. We welcome a variety of styles and subjects, along with mixed-media art in which acrylic paint plays a key role. If selected, you will be asked to describe how your painting demonstrates or embodies the theme of “Creative Energy.” This includes but is not limited to your creative or technical process, materials and/or artistic inspiration
