The Coliseum Artium is a bi-weekly art challenge hosted at SIC! Members are given prompts to creatively compete, with their entries ranked and the victor taking the title. Here will be a thread featuring the highest ranked entries of each contest.

Behold a new banner celebrating our community! This colossal art project lead by @slicknickarts.bsky.social is based on the Ukrainian diorama painting Військова Рада на Січі (Military Council in the Sich) by M. V. Ovechkin. It features dozens of our members (in Cossack fashion)!
