A talented young artist in Auckland has been named the winner of oOh!media New Zealand’s ‘Art in the Hood’ initiative among an impressive selection of artworks created by children from 21 primary schools across the country.
Noa, a 12-year-old from Kadimah School, took out the award for her depiction of Auckland’s CBD, which deeply impressed the judging panel in a project designed to publicly showcase art with a local flavour. I was shocked at first, but I’m super excited to have won, she said. I like my neighbourhood because it is calm and colourful. Although the city seems small, there are lots of things that make it feel big. In our neighbourhood there are lots of trees and lots of birdlife. We are lucky to have Myers Park nearby which gives lots of space to run.
