“Reconnecting with the Smithsonian” through art

The Office of Visitor Services would like to invite you to participate in this year’s Smithsonian Volunteer Art Showcase! Your submissions over the last few years have shown how wide-ranging your talents are and we’d love to highlight those talents again this year.

Use your imagination to create an original craft or piece of art, in the medium of your choosing, as a response to the prompt below. Examples may include painting, drawing, photography, animation, written word, needlework, weaving, beadwork etc. The sky’s the limit! We just want you to have fun and be creative.
