Looking for creative kids

Young Artists Awards

Creative kids who take photos, build, carve, sew, draw, paint or do other art in their spare time are wanted for the Young Artist Awards.

This annual event is produced by the Sunshine Coast Arts Council. Artists ages five to 18 are invited to enter up to three pieces of original works created outside of school within the last year. Artwork on paper should be submitted unframed but mounted on a larger piece of paper or behind a paper matte.

Entries must be delivered to the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre at Trail and Medusa in Sechelt by 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 19. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. 

The young artists work will be exhibited in the Arts Centre from Nov. 29 to Dec. 16, and a reception for the artists and their parents will be held on Dec. 16 at 2:30 p.m. 

This event is generously sponsored by Opus Art Supplies, Sechelt Rotary and Gibsons School of the Arts.
