There is a wild spirit found in all artists that must be released into the work that they craft so that they may find peace or be forever tormented by what can not be made - Anton the Mad, Famous Painter

The Summer Arts Competition is more than a means for artists to show their work to the people in order to gain recognition but is a means of expressing the ideas and creativity that is put into their work. For what is art but to express one's will in a physical form to be witnessed by others and to understand how the artist feels? To deny that will and restrict it because some people may not like is something that cannot be excepted by any circumstance. Art that can not be fully expressed is nothing more than a pale imitation of what it could really be.
