Push for Art
DRAW PAINT CREATE
Enter for the chance to win a year’s worth of free school art supplies for your entire school. Make an art piece reflecting why art education is important. Creativity is strongly encouraged!
The Creative Push
Whenever education budgets get tightened, art programs are the first to get cut. We at Converse believe freedom of expression and creativity are extremely valuable. It’s time for a PUSH for Art to promote art education.
We invite students from middle school and high school to enter for a chance to win free art supplies for your entire school. We understand making art can be expensive, one needs many different materials: pencils, paint, paper, canvas, pastels, etc. Therefore we will be hosting pop-up art events across the country, where Converse will provide art supplies for students entering the contest. After the event, each student will get to take their very own art supplies kit and are encouraged to submit their art reflecting why art education is important in the contest. The deadline for submissions is April 30th.
After the submissions deadline, 100 different artists will move on to the next round of the contest. The selected art will be posted on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram of The Creative Push campaign for people to vote their favorite. The art piece that gets the most likes by the end of May will become the winner of the contest and earn art supplies for their school.
