“ALL THE BUZZ” CHALLENGE
Explore the colorful, textured, patterned world of the small and mighty. This 2024–2025 challenge celebrates the beauty, diversity, and ecology of our tiniest neighbors. Let the unseen heroes of nature be seen in their full glory!
Due: November 2025 (at the membership meeting)
Size: No size limit for 2D wall art; 3D must fit on an 18" x 18" pedestal
Entries: Artists may create two challenge pieces. You may use the same insect or different insects for the two pieces.
1st piece: Up to the max size permitted
2nd piece (optional): MUST be a MINI artwork not to exceed 6" x 6". These pieces are meant to highlight the “small but mighty“ aspect of this theme.
Notes: Each piece must include at least one representation of an insect. It may include other natural elements like flowers, plants, trees, sky, water, and so on. Your insect may be based on a genuine natural beauty or a fantastic version of a real creature (though you must admit, nature does create some pretty fantastic bugs!) You may wish to include an educational element in your work, for example, how bees support our well-being or the endangerment of monarch butterflies. You may choose any insects that appeal to your creative spirit.
