“Brighter Days” Painting Competition
(Oil, Acrylic, or Watercolor)
Brighter Days invites young artists to use paint to express hope, growth, and positive change, much like spring brings new life and fresh beginnings. Artists are encouraged to think about moments that feel encouraging, peaceful, or full of possibility. Your artwork might reflect brighter days in your own life, in your community, or in the world around you. Use color, shapes, and texture to show what hope looks like to you and how brighter days can begin.
