At this time we present 3 stunning visual and 2 performing arts winners for our Weekly Art Feature.
With some of these submissions simultaneously entered into the "March Art Madness" external initiative (MAM), see entry guidelines linked at the very end of this post, keep in mind that MAM runs throughout the month. Then it ends with its own particular finalists and awards presented at the close of March.
We plan to follow on the heals of March Art Madness with other special initiatives in the months ahead. As well, we continue to evolve in terms of how and when we post stateofthearts' own content and resteem visual and performing arts features from the SOA hashtag.
So we will update you more on each of these in the days ahead.
But for now, we continue to post weekly content along the following guidelines:
(1) First of all, depending on the given flow out of the curation trail, etc., we present cutting edge and technology themes on Mondays (innovation, design, science ideation, and technology). These may come from any of the arts; Also beginning early in the week , we display sketches and youth art;
(2) Next we feature anime and manga usually starting on Tuesdays;
(3) Following this we focus on story during the middle of the week around Wednesdays. This includes conceptual art, writing, ideaton, and scripts, etc.;
(4) Following this we display photography and multimedia initiating on Thursdays;
(5) Next we focus on film, comedy, and video on Fridays;
(6) Finally, from Saturday through Monday we present the best of show for our top Weekly Features in both the visual and performing arts.
Without further adieu, we now present our current Weekly Visual Art Winners:

"How will the children of the future be different from us? They will have a very different vision of the world in which they live from today's paradigm. This little girl can see a number of planets in the sky and will be aware of life on other worlds. She will understand that there are multiple dimensions, many teeming with life. She will have put an end to the fiction of linear time (the timepieces have been abandoned in the sand, relics of a previous world view). Her daily life will tranquilly include these notions which seem so difficult for us to imagine in our current world view."
