Youth Art on Display
Organised by Youthline, the exhibition opens April 30th to May 19th and involves a selection of art works, capturing what it means to be a young person in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
“Youthline’s aim is to create communities that support young people to achieve their potential. The exhibition gives young people from all backgrounds a chance to come together to create art, express what it means to be a young person and be acknowledged for their contribution,” says Youthline Auckland CEO Stephen Bell.
The exhibition showcases entries from Youthline's 2007 Youth Art Competition, as well as top entries from previous years.
“We want young people to tell us about their experience of being young, which is sometimes quite different to what adults or society might think,” says competition organiser Grace Taylor.
The competition is open to all New Zealanders who can create as many entries as they like, with three prize categories for junior, senior and tertiary/community entrants. Prizes include art supplies, an ipod shuffle, a digital camera, Hannahs and Jay Jays vouchers.
