Art for Uncertain Times: The Next Generation
As a young LDS artist, your work matters. Your talents inspire those around you, even in times of uncertainty such as these ones. What message will you share with friends and family, near and far, that helps them understand your experience in this moment. Is it a message of hope and encouragement? Or is it one of discouragement and loss? Your voice matters; The Center for Latter-day Saint Arts encourages you to create a piece of art that shares how the pandemic of COVID-19 and the fight against the pandemic of racism have affected you. All entries will be recognized and published by the Center. Twenty-five of the entries will be awarded an Entry of Merit and receive $25.
The Center for Latter-day Saint Arts is a group of people who care about encouraging Latter-day Saint artists to create all types of art. We know that you are a future artist and hope this will motivate you to continue pursuing your artistic talents.
