Competition “Give Yourself Wings”
In the 2027 season, the competition held as part of the Doll’Arte exhibition is entitled “Give Yourself Wings.” It is an invitation to embrace inner freedom, embark on a creative flight and experience spiritual awakening.
Wings symbolise the courage to break free from whatever holds us back, listen to the voice of our hearts and discover new strength within ourselves. They offer the chance to rise above the bustle of everyday life, stand tall, believe in our dreams and let creativity lead us towards light, harmony and inspiration.
During the Easter season, a time imbued with profound spiritual meaning, we invite you to express your vision of freedom, hope, transformation and inner renewal through an original art doll of your own. May each work become a small story about finding one’s wings - through creativity, in life and in the pursuit of light.
Why participate? • Talent recognition - your works will be seen by art lovers, collectors, and fellow creators. • Creative freedom - the contest is a platform with no limits to imagination. • New opportunities - meet like-minded people, exchange experiences, and find inspiration. • Awards and visibility - winners will receive prizes, publications, and broad audience attention.
Who is this contest for? • Anyone, regardless of whether they participate in the main exhibition. • Artists working in various techniques - from textile to porcelain dolls. • Beginners who want to make their first mark. • Professionals seeking to expand the boundaries of their creativity.
