#ARToftheCity
Art is in the heart of Artcaffé, and in what other way would we share this than through the power of art and colour?
The Art of the City challenge gives us a chance to celebrate, inspire and uplift Kenyan creatives by giving you the greatest stage we have to offer to reach all corners of the city with your talent, craft and skill.
This year's challenge is in honour of International Women's Day!
We're thrilled to launch the "HerStory" campaign, and we hope you'll join us in celebrating the incredible women who have shaped us. We believe that the stories of women who have made a difference in our lives deserve to be told. From mothers to sisters, wives to friends, we hope that by sharing their stories, we can inspire others to make a difference and celebrate women's achievements everywhere.
Challenge
Let's show our appreciation for the remarkable women in our lives through artistic expression.
Use colour & creativity to capture & illustrate the influence, accomplishments, and spirit of the unsung heroines in your life, showing how their impact inspires you.
The top three artworks and designs stand to win cash prizes, fantastic giveaways, plus a chance to have their name and design featured on Artcaffe's limited edition takeaway coffee cups, travel mugs & coffee bags.
