Theme
Art in Space: It is the 50th anniversary of Man walking on the Moon on the 19 July 2019.
Information and ideas about the theme:
Both Space has all the delights of mystery and fact: Space has been revered for thousands of years and in the last century we have begun to understand and have knowledge about the vast expanse that we see especially at night and on high plateaus such as the Granite belt. This theme has the opportunity to use your imagination and think about what is beyond earth in the universe that we are part of. Most importantly in the CRISP’s Art Prize have fun and be creative in revealing the connection between Art and Space.
