“On behalf of the Prince George and District Community Arts Council and Studio 2880 we are thrilled with the talent demonstrated by so many of our local youth,” said Community Arts Council Program Manager Lisa Redpath.
“In its 7th year, the Teen Art Showcase continues to spotlight the creativity, dedication and hard work achieved by these amazing local artisans, as well as the community that supports them.”
Prince George Public Library Manager of Communications and Engagement Jen Rubadeau said more than 13,500 people came through the Bob Harkins Branch last month and saw the 33 pieces of artwork submitted.
“There were so many positive comments about the art submissions and almost 400 ballots were cast for the Peoples Choice Award,” Rubadeau said.
“All the teens who participated should be extremely proud of their work.”
