Thank you to all of the artists over the age of 18 and living in Texas who participated in our 20th annual Art On The Plaza competition sponsored by The Catholic Foundation. The 2026 competition theme has not been announced yet. The 2025 winning artist, Rebecca Perry, received a $5,000 grand prize for her colorful image of daises inside vases on a window sill called Vessels of Harmony and will have her art displayed on a 28×9-foot wall in the Catholic Foundation Plaza in the Dallas Arts District for a year. The honorable mention winner is Sofia Conde. She received $500 for her image of the life cycle of a southern magnolia, from bud to blossom to the dispersion of its blood-red seeds, called Harmony of Life.
