How can we help?

The People's Artist is an opportunity for one exceptional artist to win $25,000, appear in Artforum Magazine, and display their art at The Art of Elysium’s Art Salon. The competition is run by Colossal and benefits the The Art of Elysium. Learn more at peoplesartist.org.

We recommend trying to vote again from a different device or browser, as this will often fix most issues. Another possibility could be that it has not been a full 24 hours since your last vote. If you continue to experience difficulties, please contact our Support Team and we will be happy to help.

You can use your Free Daily Vote once every 24 hours, and you can cast votes by donation for your favorite artist at any time.

We have a strict "no refund" policy which Voters agree to when they make a donation. Since winners are decided based upon votes the public casts, we do not issue refunds once a vote has been fully processed in our system. As a Voter, you are responsible for understanding this upon casting votes for the competitor in the competition.

Yes! Every vote by donation is a direct donation to Action Initiative Team (AIT), a 501(c)(3) charity. Votes by donation are deductible for federal income tax purposes. AIT will subsequently make the grant to The Art of Elysium after the winner is announced. Donors will receive a receipt via email.
