In conjunction with the Fairfield University Art Museum exhibit In Real Times – Artist and Soldier for Human Rights, students are invited to submit an original piece of art addressing a current social justice issue. The purpose is not to imitate Arthur Szyk's style but to use his work as a source of inspiration.

Visit the museum, use the information on this website, gain inspiration from Szyk's work, and create a piece of art that addresses a social justice issue you are passionate about. Open to all students. 

 "Arthur Szyk advocated for religious tolerance, racial equality, and human dignity. Active in the years leading up to World War II and during the Holocaust, Szyk became one of America’s most celebrated political artists for his powerful artistic and social contributions against Nazism and fascism. As our communities continue to confront issues of structural racism and social upheaval — including the sharp rise in antisemitic rhetoric and violence across the United States— this exhibition provides a platform for conversations on the urgent topics of human rights and social justice."
