Annual Artists Contest
Theme: Unraveled
"Unraveled" is about deconstruction, vulnerability, and revelation. It’s the peeling back of layers — in fabric, in memory, in society, or in the self. This theme invites artists to explore what happens when things come undone: when patterns break, when stories are exposed, when chaos reveals hidden beauty.
Artists may enter their artwork to win a cash prize of $300 and have their work displayed in the MAC lobby for a month. The winner is formally announced and the prize is awarded at the MAC & Cheese event, winning artwork is exhibited at MAC & Cheese, artist is invited to speak at the event.
Open to all 2D and 3D media. The only requirement is that the winning piece must be able to be transported and displayed safely at the MAC & Cheese event and the subsequent gallery exhibition.
