This year, 30 artists between the ages of 8 – 18 will showcase their diverse artistic talents through original artwork and crafts. The work includes a unique collection of drawings, paintings, collage, jewelry, textiles, prints, journals, and greeting cards created in a variety styles and media and influenced by nature, pop culture, everyday life, and more. In addition to selling their work, the artists are competing for awards selected by a panel of jurors from the community.
