    Description

    As we mark ten years of creativity, community, and connection, we invite artists of all disciplines to explore the theme of TEN—not just as a number, but as a concept, a symbol, and an inspiration.

    Think Beyond the Obvious!

    We encourage artists to push boundaries, experiment, and interpret "ten" in unexpected ways.

    Consider:
    Ten as a measure of time – A decade, a countdown, a cycle, a moment in history.
    Ten as a structure – Geometric patterns, the decimal system, symmetry, multiples.
    Ten as a story – Ten objects, ten perspectives, ten interconnected ideas.
    Ten as a challenge – Limit yourself to ten colors, ten brushstrokes, ten materials.
    Ten as a personal reflection – What does a decade of change, growth, or experience mean to you?
