Young & Emerging Artists exhibition
When we announced the Young & Emerging Artist Exhibition, local artist N.F. asked on Instagram: “when you say young, does 71 count? I feel young and am emerging!”
It was a good question because all of us are emerging in one way or another and to feel young at 71 is a gift definitely worth sharing.
The Luminance Young & Emerging Artist Exhibition is for young artists aged 15-25, and for emerging artists aged 25+.
We want to support young artists by providing a pathway for 15-25 year olds to share their work and connect with audiences through a curated exhibition.
We also recognise and support emerging artists aged 25+.
Established artists Wendy Stokes and Stephen Killick have generously agreed to judge the exhibition and choose an outstanding work from each category.
Entry is free.
Young & emerging artists working in all mediums are encouraged to apply: painting, sculpture, mixed media, digital.
The message embedded in the Young & Emerging Artists Exhibition is: be creative, your ideas are sought after, your work is valued.
Artwork by up to 16 finalists will be shown in a curated exhibition at Luminance Gallery. Art prize winners receive mentorship and art supplies, thanks to the Seed Art School and Vivianne Hazenveld.
