An exclusive online exhibition and art supplies are being offered by Mangawhai Artists in a bid to encourage and nurture creativity among local children and young people.
The Youth Art Showcase is looking for art submissions from artists aged from four to 20 who live in Mangawhai and the surrounding areas, including Tomarata, Tapora, Tauhoa, Kaiwaka, Wellsford, Warkworth, Waipu, Maungaturoto and Paparoa, as well as students from Otamatea High School and Rodney, Bream Bay and Mahurangi Colleges.
Organisers say artworks of all kinds are welcome, such as drawing, painting, print, sculpture, collage, photography, or items constructed out of wood or other materials.
“Creating connections and expressing ourselves through art adds positively to our wellbeing,” they say.
One entry per person is allowed and all entries need to be photographed and submitted online. All artworks will be showcased on the Mangawhai Artists’ website and several artists in each age bracket will win an art supply pack. An award ceremony and community celebration will be held at the Mangawhai Artists Gallery in the spring.
