Arts Events

Current students are invited to submit an original art piece to the TCC's second annual Pungo Art Contest!

The Pungo Art Contest's mission is to make connections between the arts and humanities at Tidewater Community College and the TCC community as we extend our learning experience beyond the classroom and bring our talented artists into our academic spaces.

Our sense of community is being redefined as we seek connection from a distance. What does it look like when we are forced to change our perception of human relationships - with others and with ourselves? How do we change and evolve as we learn and challenge ourselves? How do digital spaces and communities shape who we are? What does it mean to be a student? A parent? A child? A partner?

This year, we will be exploring interpretations of the fibers of our human connections through the theme: Identity, Selfhood, and Community.

We will accept submissions for judging that provide artistic interpretations of our theme in the following medium categories:

• Photography ($100)
• Painting/Drawing ($100)
• Mixed Media ($100)
• Judge's Prize ($500) - selected from the media categories

Submit your work!

Submissions must be received electronically by July 1, 2020 to be considered for an award.
