Spiva + Arvest Art Contest

August 15, 2025 @ 8:00 am - September 30, 2025 @ 11:59 pm

Submit your artwork for a chance to be featured on a custom Arvest debit card representing Spiva!

Submission Deadline: September 30, 2025

We want to see what you’ve got! See how to submit your work and participate here: Submission Information & Guidelines

 

Theme: “Celebrate the Creative Experience”

Spiva’s tagline comes to life through this theme, inviting artists to design a card that bursts with joy, imagination, and color. We encourage entries that reflect the vibrancy of the arts, the power of creativity, and the spirit of community that Spiva fosters. Think bold, celebratory, and uplifting—art that sparks inspiration every time the card is used.

Design Note

All submissions must incorporate space for the Spiva Center for the Arts logo on the front of the card. Artists should thoughtfully consider placement, color balance, and overall composition to ensure the logo is both visible and harmoniously integrated into their design.

 

Two categories: Youth (17 & under) and Adult (18+)

Finalists will be featured in a 2026 art calendar.

The public will vote for the winning designs to appear on Arvest debit cards.

Questions? Call Spiva at 417-623-0183.
