Last year, Utrecht Art Supplies launched a National Art Competition to mark 60 years of serving American Artists. With over 6,000 entries, response to our inaugural competition was overwhelming– in volume of contestants and the quality of work received exceeded all expectations! This year, Utrecht is proud to join American Artist Magazine and The Grand Central Academy of Art in presenting our 2nd Annual Contest where we expect to attract even more participants in a broad spectrum of styles, subjects and media.

All Artists are invited to submit works in Painting, Drawing or Sculpture. In recognition of excellence, Utrecht will be awarding over $15,000 in prizes. All entries will be evaluated and finalists selected by The Grand Central Academy faculty, Chief Editor of American Artist Magazine and Utrecht Resident Artist. Prizes will be awarded for a variety of categories, styles and materials. This year, our Grand Prize Winner will receive a 6-week scholarship to study at The Grand Central Academy of Art located in New York City. (a value worth up to $7500.00).

Founded by the painter, Jacob Collins, The Grand Central Academy is America’s leading atelier teaching the principles and techniques of classical art in a professional environment. Our Grand Prize Winner will participate in an intensive studio course, working from antique casts and live models under the direction of highly accomplished working artists. Enter your work and let Utrecht showcase the extraordinary talent that has been an integral part of our inspiration for over 6 decades!
