Feeding Creativity Art Competition

Feed Your Creativity

Calling all young artists (K-12) with bright imaginations! The Central Texas Food Bank's Feeding Creativity Art Competition is searching for fresh perspectives and growing creativity to inspire hope for a brighter future through art. This year's theme is "Food Unites Us: Celebrating Cultural Connections"

Why: This option highlights unity and celebration, reflecting the idea that food transcends boundaries and brings people together.

Prompt: Design an artwork that showcases a meal or food experience highlighting cultural diversity. Think about a time you shared a meal with someone from a different background. How can you express the joy and connection that food fosters in your piece?

Join us on this artistic adventure where your unique vision can blossom alongside healthy communities. Your artwork carries the power to spark action and make a difference.

We are accepting art submissions through Tuesday, April 1, 2025.

Ready to unleash your inner artist and sprout something extraordinary?  Click here to register for the competition or submit your art, and let your creativity bloom!

We are currently seeking sponsorships for this event! Contact us for more information or with questions about the event at artcomp@centraltexasfoodbank.org.
