Youth Artist Information - Amdur Productions

Get the experience of exhibiting as a professional artist! Set up, take down and sell your art as a professional artist does. You can even ask them questions and get real-life advice from exhibiting artists!

Young artists who have participated in the Youth Art Division in the past have found it to be a wonderful and uniquely enriching experience. The festival will provide you with a venue to showcase your original artwork to a large public audience. The Youth Artist Division will also give you the opportunity to experience exhibiting, talking about your work and selling your Art!

The Youth Artist Division is filled with artists on a “first come/first served basis” which means in order of receipt of applications.
