The Young at Art annual juried exhibition celebrates National Youth Art Month by recognizing the excellence, creativity and originality of K-12 students on Hawai’i Island in all public, charter, and private schools, as well as home-schooled students.

This yearʻs theme is SHIFT, an open prompt to help students reflect on changes. Whether they are dramatic or subtle, visible or invisible, by choice or against our will, students were encouraged to explore these transitions and our reactions to them. The exhibition features a variety of perspectives on the theme. Within the artworks, SHIFT is approached literally, figuratively, and explored at various levels of meaning to the student artists.

 

For the first time in the exhibition's history, Young At Art is presented by East Hawai‘i Cultural Center in collaboration with Wailoa Center, one of the show’s original display locations. After being spread across the island for the past few years, we are bringing the exhibition back to a central location, where it can be viewed in its entirety. 

 

Mahalo to our community for the support that you have shown Young At Art over the last 38 years!
