AcrylicWorks 6 Winners Announced

---

Congratulations AcrylicWorks 6 winners! We have selected 122 artists for publication in North Light Books’ latest acrylics competition, AcrylicWorks 6: Creative Energy!

Creative energy is the driving force of what it means to be an artist, and how an artist chooses to use that energy is what sets one apart from the others. Some may choose energetic brush strokes creating movement that seems to dance across the canvas.

Others may select colors that represent a feeling behind their emotional energy for a particular work. For others still, creative energy may take a more behind-the-scenes role, one in which the artist is the only person who can truly know the source of inspiration.

This 6th volume in the AcrylicWorks series will celebrate creative energy and excellence while continuing the proud tradition of showcasing the best in contemporary acrylic painting. If you see your name below, please check your email accounts (and junk boxes) for instructions on next steps.

You will receive an email from us with the subject line “AcrylicWorks 6 Winner Notification” by Friday, June 15, 2018.
