The Cincinnati Art Museum invites all Greater Cincinnati regional 7–12 grade students to create a 10-inch-by-10-inch artwork representing your interpretation of this year’s theme: Whimsy.

Embrace the playful and imaginative, letting your unique perspectives shine through in vibrant colors and fantastical designs. Whether it’s illustrations, paintings, or mixed media, we want to see how you interpret the theme of “Whimsy.” Join us in celebrating the joy of creativity and the magic of the unexpected. Submit your pieces by February 26, 2025, and let your imagination run wild!
