Youth Art Expo | Who am I?
The Youth Art Expo is back, and this time, it's all about exploring the theme of "WHO AM I?" Kingston Youth Services is proud to have partnered with Kingston Arts to bring you this event.
This is an exciting opportunity for young artists aged 12-25 to showcase their artwork and interpretation of the theme; come along to win some fantastic prizes!
The Expo is FREE to enter! Participants are encouraged to create a work of art representing their vision of identity and self-discovery, using any style or medium they prefer, from painting and drawing to sculpture and digital work. The competition is open to all styles and approaches.
This is an amazing chance for young artists to showcase their talent and have their work seen by a wider audience. To secure your spot and register to receive the information pack, contact youth.services@kingston.vic.gov.au or 1300 369 436.
