The SDCL 2025 Classic Bookmark Art Contest!
A classic is a work that has and will stand the test of time. What is a classic to you? Is it Beethoven or Taylor Swift? Is it van Gogh’s Starry Night or Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans? We want to know what you consider a classic - it could be classic music, classic art, classic cars, classic movies, or classic TV shows. Use your art to capture what you think will stand the test of time - your work could become an instant classic!
