This exhibition celebrates the resurgence of life in the natural world, depicting the thawing earth, running streams and newly green trees. The artwork highlights the rejuvenation of the earth and its ecosystem, symbolizing hope and renewal.

The mission of this competition is to encourage artists to develop and refine their classical art skills and spotlight their mastery by providing a new platform for showcasing contemporary-traditional works of art.

Artists were asked to represent Awakening the Earth via contemporary-traditional methods.  Any genre of work was eligible for consideration.  

The exhibition will be on display through a CAC virtual gallery from March 24 – June 20, 2025.
