THE ARTISTS FORUM JURIED ARTS COMPETITION THEMES

Why Themes Matter

The Artists Forum competition themes provide artists with a creative framework to explore cultural, social, and political ideas.

These themes inspire new work, encourage critical thinking, and foster meaningful engagement with the world. By connecting their work to broader conversations, artists can create pieces that resonate deeply and reach wider audiences.

Since the pandemic, themes have been integrated across all juried competitions, including both The Artists Forum Festival of the Moving Image and the Juried Arts Festival.  

Below you’ll find information on current and past themes, including overarching multi-year themes.

For information on volunteering, partnerships, or sponsorship opportunities, please visit our SUPPORT section.
