We are pleased to announce the return of our esteemed program, Young at Art! Regional Youth Art Contest. Through this program, middle and high school students in Central New York have the opportunity to participate in a juried exhibition at Fenimore Art Museum, to win valuable prizes, to meet mentors and peers in the field of fine arts, and more.
Young at Art! Regional Youth Art Contest serves regional youths in grades 6 – 12. We invite you and your students to join us as we explore this year’s theme, play, through a variety of media, including painting, drawing, photography, 2D art, graphic design, and sculpture.
New this year, we have expanded our program to include all schools within Oneida County. We look forward to meeting the teachers and students in this neighboring area, welcoming them to our “art hub” in Cooperstown and collaborating in this community-building, artmaking program.
Please feel encouraged to contact Michelle Bosma, Manager of Youth Programs, to learn more about participating in Young at Art!
