Artfest 2026 Art Show theme:
'Truth, Beauty and Wonder in Troubled Times'
In times of uncertainty, art becomes a powerful lens through which we rediscover what is true, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. This year’s theme--Finding Truth, Beauty and Wonder in Troubled Times—invites artists to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit, the quiet grace in everyday moments, and the sparks of hope that illuminate even the darkest paths. Whether through bold expression or subtle nuance, we welcome works that challenge, uplift, and remind us that wonder is not lost—it is waiting to be seen, felt, and shared.

• “The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” — W.B. Yeats
• “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” — Martin Luther King Jr.
