Creativity Contest

Public Arts Midland and the Cultural Awareness Coalition invite community members from across the Great Lakes Bay Region to submit original artwork inspired by the 2026 Global Diversity Month theme: “Humanity Unites Us All.” This collaborative project celebrates the powerful connection between art and culture. We believe creativity can bring people together, deepen understanding, and reflect the richness of our community. Through artistic expression, we can explore both our shared humanity and the unique experiences that shape who we are. Public Arts Midland believes that art connects, heals, inspires, and strengthens communities. The Cultural Awareness Coalition works to promote and sustain cultural awareness throughout Midland. Together, we support the shared vision for Midland County: Midland—An inclusive community. Together. Forward. Bold. An exceptional place where everyone thrives.
