2. COMMUNITY ART PROJECT

Bridging culture awareness and health awarenes is the most important aspiration for the PMAC World Art Contest. The Community Art Project was initiated with the belief that art is a universal language. Artists’ expressions are able to illustrate complex messages to easy understanding that connect us to a common goal. Moreover, creative experience is one of the important aspects in revitalizing communities and towns.

Therefore, this year PMAC 2020 World Art Contest calls for Young Artists to create new perspective of artistic expression on Universal Health Coverage through the Community Art Project. The proposals should present the creative vision how art can regenerate communities and help create awareness about health in their neighborhood.
