For the past 20 years, the Albright-Knox has held an annual contest called Art Alive, during which participants create living representations of famous works of art for great prizes.
Most participants are students and student groups, though we also welcome community groups, organizations, families, and individuals. Participants build their stunning replicas—often called tableaux—using people, props, and their creativity.
Here is a look back at some memorable moments from the past several contests.
This year marks the 21st installment of Art Alive. The deadline to register your tableau is Thursday, May 18, and the contest will be held on Saturday, June 3, from noon to 2 pm, on the museum's grounds facing Hoyt Lake.
