[Call for Applications] The Inspired by Edo National Student Art Competition

The Inspired by Edo Team are excited to announce the launch of the Inspired by Edo National Student Art Competition, celebrating Youth Art Month. 

Check out the Inspired By Edo website.

During Japan’s Edo era (1603~1868), artists innovated techniques to bring nature to striking life. We designed Inspired by Edo to invite everyone to dive into the Smithsonian’s free 1-12 art curriculum and encourage their children to submit original artworks to the competition.

The submission deadline is May 15th, 2024.

Submission is free!
