๐ September Art Challenge 2023 [FULL LIST]
Looking for a fun September art challenge to participate in? Look no further! In this article, I’m giving you an extensive list of more and less popular art challenges to take part in this September. Choose the one that you like most and enjoy the creative process as you engage with the challenge!
What are monthly art challenges?
September is another month full of creative opportunities on social media, thanks to monthly art challenges. These challenges give artists daily prompts (ideas) to make up to 30 drawings or paintings throughout the month.
People share their artwork online using the hashtag of the challenge. It’s a fun way to try different art styles and get inspired by others. These challenges also help artists connect with each other and show their creative skills on social media platforms. If you love drawing or painting, joining a monthly art challenge can be a great way to have fun and improve your skills.
Okay, without further ado – here’s a list of all Septemeber art challenges.
