The 33rd Annual Young at Art Exhibit opens Saturday March 6, 2021.
Young at Art, a joint venture between the Hawai’i District Department of Education and the East Hawai’i Cultural Center (EHCC), spotlights the creative efforts of Hawaiʻi’s grade K-12 keiki.
The theme of this year’s Young at Art is “CommUnity: Finding Togetherness in Distance.”
Prior to the 2021 show, students were asked to create artwork that shows a current event or issue that they find important, including but not limited to equality, climate change, health, and being apart from loved ones and classmates. They were asked to pull inspiration from their feelings and emotions in the past year, considering that even though we are physically apart, we are able to remain connected through a shared love of art.
