Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 Young Artists Prize!
This year we celebrated the creativity of local young artists with an environmentally-themed Young Artists Prize. Young people who live or study in Blacktown City, aged 3 – 15 years were invited to enter artworks that represented this years theme of an Environmentally Friendly City. We asked young artists to think of creative ways to live differently in cities and decrease our environmental impact as the population continues to grow.
The Young Artist Prize exhibition is free and open to the public until 27 January 2022.
The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre will close 5pm 18 December 2021 and will reopen at 10am 11 January 2022.
