Reception & Children’s Art Crawl: Friday, March 13, 4 – 6 pm
Attention all parents of young artists in Ashe County! We invite you to submit your child’s artwork for our annual ‘Young at Art’ exhibit. This exciting event provides a unique opportunity for your child to showcase their creativity and talent in a professional gallery setting.
We welcome artwork from students ages 5-18, of all skill levels and artistic backgrounds. This is a wonderful chance for your child to gain recognition and exposure for their artwork, while also experiencing the thrill of seeing their work on display for all to see.
At ‘Young at Art’, we celebrate the unique perspectives and innovative techniques of young artists, and we believe that every child has the ability to create beautiful and meaningful art. By submitting your child’s artwork for the exhibit, you are supporting their artistic growth and providing them with a platform to share their vision with the wider community.
