The Youth Art Exhibition is held annually at the beginning of June, in conjunction with the Pacific Palms Art Festival, and continues to attract more entries each year.
The Youth Art competition was originally held for the students of Pacific Palms Public School during the main Art Festival Exhibition and Sale to inspire future artists.
Over the years the Youth Art competition grew to include the local high school and developed its own exhibition space on the weekend before the main Exhibition and Sale.
The last few years have proved an overwhelming success with many schools from across the region taking part. Last year we had 251 entries by 162 artists from 12 local schools!
The exhibition is open to 5 - 16 year olds across five sections; Oil and Acrylic on board or canvas, Watercolour/Pastels, Mixed Medium, Photography, and Pen/Pencil/Ink.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
