This year, the Chassidus in Color Art Contest is back—and winners will be announced at a May 18th event at the Jewish Children’s Museum.
Submissions open on Rosh Chodesh Adar, March 2nd. Painters and digital artists of all experience levels across the Jewish world are getting to work on their newest masterpieces. They have until 11 Nissan, April 9th, to submit their work.
If their art makes it to the final rounds, they’ll see it prominently displayed for three weeks at the Betzalel Art Gallery or the Maor Art Gallery—in Crown Heights and Prospect Heights, respectively- with the opportunity to sell. Winners will receive cash prizes, as well as prizes sponsored by ArtToFrame and EZRI designer bags.

Art Title: Peeling back the Kelipos: The Truth Within the Facade
After Adam and Chava ate from the Tree of Knowledge, good and evil became entangled, making truth harder to recognize. As Rabbi Yehoshua Gordon taught, when Moshiach comes, we’ll wonder why we chased darkness instead of revealing the divine sparks hidden within it. Today’s world is full of distractions—like Times Square’s glittering lights—that often mask emptiness, yet through mitzvos, we can peel back layers of concealment and bring true light. Whether it’s using technology for Torah, covering hair with dignity, or honoring Shabbos, every holy act helps usher in the Geula. May we merit to greet Moshiach today.
Material: Oil on canvas
