Sealaska Heritage Institute will sponsor a new youth exhibit of Northwest Coast art during the biennial Celebration in an effort to increase the number of youth making high quality pieces and to share their work with the public. Cash awards will be made to schools of the winners for art supplies to be used by schools or organizations for future instruction in Northwest Coast art. All youth chosen to exhibit will receive a specially-made Juried Art Show T-shirt and winners also will receive a certificate.
The competition is open to all youth in grades 6-12. The youth exhibit will open on June 3 at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center and run in conjunction with Celebration, scheduled June 8-11. The awards ceremony will be held on June 8 at the Walter Soboleff Building in Juneau, and the exhibit will close on June 30. Applications are due April 15.
