Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library
Creative Art Showcase
Final Entry Date Extended to Saturday September 12th.
Overview
The Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library wish to harness the creative passions and talents of our youth. During these times of uncertainty, we want young people in our community to let their creative juices flow and spread light and positivity into the world. Art can help children explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, cope with stress, boost self-esteem, and explore new areas of creativity.
This showcase is available for those under 25 years old living in Arizona and is categorized by age group.
All mediums will be accepted. Art can be created from crayon, coloring pencil, paint, markers, lollipop sticks, paper mache, chalk, clay, etc. No photography, please. Complete list of rules below.
Take a high-quality photo of all finished products and send them, your name, your age, and your city to artshowcase@azirish.org. We will notify you if your piece is selected.
Please keep all creations as there will be a final showcase date later this year. More details to follow.
