The artworks of young South Canterbury people are on display for the community to celebrate.
The annual Voice Youth Art Project exhibition — which has been running for 13 years — opened to the community on September 20, following the evening’s awards ceremony.
There were nearly 150 entries across five categories of different artistic mediums. The theme for this year’s show was ‘‘One Planet’’.
The exhibition is on at the Ara Institute of Canterbury Timaru Campus until tomorrow, and is open from 9am-4.30pm.
Through workshops, the project aims to provide both the materials and instruction to give young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to experience creating art.
The project is organised by Wave South Canterbury and YMCA South and Mid Canterbury.
Funding for the project is provided by Te Rito South Canterbury and Timaru District Creative Communities.
