You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!

What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest in materials for teaching beginner watercolor workshops, advanced courses to continue expanding my practice, and artist residencies that create space for deeper artistic exploration. I’d also welcome opportunities to contribute my creative and licensing skills to community-centered events supported by organizations like The Art of Elysium.
