“We’re so grateful to the youth who submitted their artwork, and the teachers who motivated them,” said Ami Davis, NUMU’s Executive Director. “Everyone should listen to these young artists, who have vital information to share with the world through their artwork. Listen with your hearts to what they are asking adults to do: acknowledge the inequity still prevalent in our world, and be brave in using our voices for change.”
This year’s theme was “Brave New Worlds,” which asked participants to imagine a vision of the world to come, including what they see in visions of hope, equality, justice and change.
