The Teen Art Contest is for teens and by teens. Teens create the art. Teens determine the winners.
Every story, adventure and journey starts from square one. The theme for our 2014 Teen Art Show & Contest was: Art2. Art Squared allowed the artist to choose the content and the medium. Our only request? The artwork must be square.
All of the artwork will be displayed at either Penrose and East Library during the month of April.
