Teens in grades 6 – 12 are encouraged to participate in the third annual teen art contest, known as TART. This year’s theme, The Skin I’m In, means your art can represent any aspect of your life. Consider what inspires you, what you like to do, how your past has affected who you’ve become… let your work reflect you. And most importantly, have fun and be creative!
Your work, along with an entry form and a paragraph about why your art fits this year’s theme, needs to be submitted on March 8 or 9 from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. at the Carnegie Reading Room in Penrose Library, the East Teen Center at East Library, or the Ruth Holley Branch Library. Accepted artists will have their work displayed at various PPLD facilities in April 2010, and several prizes will also be awarded.
All jurying will be performed by PPLD’s youth advisory councils. These volunteer groups advise the Library on how to best serve teens.
