Theme

Momentum asks emerging artists to examine the vital creative spark behind their

work. What is the force that drives your artistic interests and informs the

directions you take each day as you move towards your future? Consider your

journey as an artist and share what propels your work. Your submission might

also reflect your experience of living with a disability and its role in shaping

or transforming your art.
