Runic Christmas tree ornaments. An album of folk music. Hand-carved wooden idols honoring the Norse gods of Frigg and Tyr. These are the kinds of things one can expect to see from the Monthly White Art Challenge (MWAC), a little-known dissident creative movement hoping to inspire “heritage” and “beauty” during a time of unparalleled discord across the Western world.

The MWAC—which bills itself as a community of artists and craftspeople of European descent—has grown exponentially since it first began in the wintery months of 2022. Now home to roughly 200 internationally located artists and craftsmen, the MWAC wishes to continue its mission of inspiring the pro-White community and fine-tune participants’ skills as we eke into an uncertain 2024.

“We are a community of artists who get together to create new art based on a new theme every month,” said J., founder and contributor of the MWAC, in a request for comment by the Justice Report. “It’s a fun and creative community project that I’m really proud of. If you’re a White artist or craftsperson, we’d love for you to join us and share your work.”

J, a woman who makes juggling the duties of a White mother and dissident artist appear effortless, has personally contributed to a stunning portfolio of work over the years. A master of folk art, home decor, and various other crafts, J is joined by many other notable movement artists in paving the way for a new generation to emerge and carry the torch wherever they might be.

“I founded the Monthly White Art challenge in November of 2022, and since then, we have blown up to just shy of 200 members. We work hard to maintain a positive, creative space for pro-White artists, and it pays off,” she said. “I hope to see us continue to foster the talents of newer, younger artists. To help them and our more experienced artists grow.”

“(We want to) formalize ourselves with artists whose work embodies heritage and beauty. Some of our past themes include Art Nouveau, Gothic, Renaissance, Kitsch, and Memento Mori,” she continued.

MWAC’s various themes have proved to be a constant source of inspiration for those willing to take the leap and participate. In February, the theme set by MWAC pertained to Greek mythology. In March, its theme was “betrayal,” a nod to the “Ides of March” assassination of Julius Caesar. Sometimes, they’re more interpretive, like in May when the theme was: “gardens.” By keeping applicants on their toes, finished art pieces spurned by the MWAC have been showcased across a multitude of social media pages and have even been sold in charitable auctions for those in need.

“We have a very ‘diverse’ collection of talent, from woodworking to jewelry making, oil painting, embroidery, poetry, and everything in between,” she continued.

The MWAC’s acceptance of a wide array of different artistic mediums appears to closely resemble the various ideas, politics, and radical philosophies that make up the Dissident Right’s scattered and often disharmonious members. But unlike the greater movement—where the hopes and dreams of niche activist groups can sometimes be destroyed at the drop of a hat—J and her team have focused their efforts on positive creation instead of negativity or attacks.

“We’re a cultural community project first and foremost. Our focus isn’t on news, current events, or ideology. In fact, I automatically turn down any submission I consider outrage porn,” she said. “Our focus is purely on creation and fostering the beauty our peoples have always been capable of.”

“Our objectives are inspiration, beauty, and community building. Where we succeed, I think, is that we unite people around what they love and what inspires them as opposed to what outrages or upsets them,” she continued.

J and the MWAC would be standing toe-to-toe against a formidable beast in the increasingly “ugly” and “diverse” world of modern art. While dissident creators are often forced to make do on a shoestring budget and create their works in spite of crippling handicaps, mainstream artists are often propped up and fostered by a machine that seeks to invert beauty and instead promote what some would call the obscene or perverse.

In 2016, the famous New York Museum of Modern Art showcased “emojis” in an exclusive exhibit after it obtained a set of originals as a gift from a Japanese telecommunications company. Their presence in the hallowed halls of one of America’s premiere art spaces was justified as maintaining a loose connection to ancient hieroglyphics and the human response to symbols and patterns, according to a senior curator at the museum.

While outrageous, nothing compares to the institutional promotion of non-White artists over White ones, a racial demographic the MWAC seeks to protect and grow. In 2020, Penn University erected a 16-foot tall bronze statue of an eyeless Black woman—crafted by a Black female sculptor—at the entrance of its centuries-old campus. The move was said to commemorate the ascension of US Vice President Kamala Harris to the White House. The display would pale in comparison to a 2-story tall “Black power” afro-pick—a so-called “symbol of African identity”—erected at New Orleans’ historic Lafayette Square just two years later.

The examples continue. Just this month, New York’s racially exclusive Jewish Museum deployed what has been called a “rapid-response solo exhibition” made to spread Zionist propaganda after the October 7th military raid against Israel by Palestinian freedom fighters. The promotion of art belonging to other peoples, of course, is occurring during a sharp uptick of physical attacks on masterpieces, often hatched by anti-White ideologues or political entrepreneurs like Just Stop Oil, a group made infamous for using dark fluids, glue, or other adhesives to deface art in the name of radical environmentalism.

While subjective, examples of art that promote subversive themes over transcendent ones have become countless in the modern world. Despite these inherent challenges, the MWAC and its community of White craftspeople, sculptors, poets, authors, songwriters, and filmmakers have buckled down to do the hard work of creating new and beautiful things while reversing some of the institutional blows already made to the front face of artistic expression.

“For anyone interested in participating in the MWAC, you can join the group to post your art submissions or even just post them as a comment under the theme announcement,” urged J. “We’re nice! I promise! We don’t put each other down. Any and all criticism is constructive. We’re here to help each other grow and to enjoy creating.”
