This exhibition is now closed
An annual exhibition of work by young Christchurch artists organised by the International Christchurch Youth group.
An Open and Accessible World for All is the theme for this year’s Christchurch Sister Cities Young Artists Competition. Open to young artists aged 13 to 18 years, the competition is designed to promote the Sister Cities programme and international friendships, while raising cultural awareness and promoting peace through mutual respect, understanding and co-operation.
Organised by International Christchurch Youth and supported by Christchurch City Council, work by this year’s best artists will be exhibited at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.
Event organiser Suzy Garrett says the winning artwork will be sent to the International Young Artists Showcase 2007 in Washington DC, from which the works of the 10 global finalists will tour the United States. 'This is an incredible honour as Erin Jackson from St Margaret’s College has discovered as winner of Christchurch’s 2006 competition. Her work, Global Citizenship – More than a Badge was chosen as one of the 10 world finalists and is currently touring the States.'
Entries for this year’s event close on Thursday, 15 March. For further information visit the website www.christchurch.org.nz/sistercities or phone the Christchurch City Council on 03 941 8999 for a brochure.
