• Depict the beauty and harmony of the native swamp ecosystem- there’s booming life in our wetlands from birds in the sky to the creatures found just below the water's surface. 

  • Get inspired about the folklore, mythology, or the occult/haunted aspect of swamps.

  • Draw from a political topic: habitat destruction, the history of enslaved people (“maroon” communities for example), colonialism, privatization of land, etc.

We accept all media including, but not limited to: fibers, sculpture, photography, paintings, ceramics, mixed media, collage, etc.

ABSOLUTELY NO AI ART IS ALLOWED!

PROMPTS FOR ARTISTS:

Use the swamp as a vessel to depict your activism - you have full creative freedom! We encourage you to make work out of recycled materials in light of the theme. If you’re struggling to come up with an idea, feel free to find inspiration from these prompts:
