CALL TO STUDENT ARTISTS Grades 6-12! Nightmare on Main Street juried by Gina Ienopoli. Submission deadline: September 22, 2026. For more information, go to www.huntingtonarts.org.

The Huntington Arts Council invites student artists in grades 6-12 to participate in our annual Nightmare on Main Street exhibition. Entries will draw inspiration from the following quote by this year’s juror, Gina Ienopli.

“Folklore from various cultures shares captivating stories during gatherings or at bedtime, passing down moral lessons to each generation. Native Filipinos tell tales of mythical beings such as the Tiyanak, a deceptive shape-shifting creature who mimics a crying baby to entice compassionate individuals deeper into the jungle, and the Diwata, beautiful guardian spirits of forests and mountains who can either bless or curse someone based on their treatment of nature.

The Tikyanak stories warn against rashness and emphasize the dangers of the unknown, while the Diwata stories advocate respect towards the Earth and one's environment. In your own world or using your own culture, create a mythical creature that inhabits its own environment and convey a backstory that imparts a lesson, incorporating visual elements to explain this throughout your work.”
