Teachers and students, it’s time for our annual Visual Arts Contest!

This year we are asking students to create art around the idea of survival. Students may consider survival as a concept or as a subject of the Holocaust and genocide.

The Virginia Holocaust Museum’s Visual Arts Competition, sponsored through the generosity of Weinstein Properties, is a yearly art contest and exhibit. Held in April in conjunction with the VHM’s Holocaust Memorial Program, middle and high school students are asked to interpret a Holocaust related theme using 2D and 3D art. The contest is judged by members of the Richmond art community and displayed in the VHM’s galleries.
