Artists OFF the Wall – Virtual Expressions from Rogers Park was created during the 2020 pandemic as a way to keep the spirit of the Artists of the Wall going during a difficult year.
We will most likely be continuing the tradition of this online art contest to coincide with the physical one that happens annually. This contest will have cash prizes as follows:
1st $100, 2nd $75, and 3rd $50
Here’s how it works –
Incorporating current year’s Artists of the Wall theme, which is announced in May and create an image to upload on our website. We invite you to use any medium you want; a painting, digital image, sculpture, photograph. Execution of piece and incorporation of the theme will weigh in judging.
There is no fee to participate. We do always welcome donations, which are used to fund our work and fund programs for kids at the Loyola Park Fieldhouse.
The 2021 Contest closed on June 20th and we will open for 2022 entries in May 2022!
