The ‘Create and Celebrate Diwali through Art’ competition is a globally inclusive event that blends artistic spirit with the vibrant culture of Diwali. In partnership with Downtown Issaquah Association, TheGlitz invites artists of all levels to dazzle the world with their Diwali-inspired creations.

By hosting this exclusive art competition, The Downtown Issaquah Association is offering a prestigious platform for artists to showcase their talent and connect with a wider audience. The competition not only celebrates the artistic spirit but also provides an opportunity for the community to engage with the rich traditions of Diwali through a modern artistic lens.
