Project Guidelines:
- Medium: Acrylics, applied materials, oils, decoupage, etc. are acceptable. Keep in mind the drying time for the selected medium. The violins are displayed from February - October 2024.
- Restrictions: This fundraiser is a project for a youth-oriented organization. As this project is intended to celebrate the beauty between art and music, no art should include nudity, profanity, political messaging, or suggestive violence.
- Design: The violin should retain its original dimensions so that it will fit into a standard violin case. Added features should be kept to a minimum. Artists should consider retaining the “feel” of the original violin and use elements such as re-stringing as part of the design.
