Call for Youth Artists
Young artists of all skill levels from curious/just begining through advanced artists are invited to help create 'REMIX THE PAGE: Youth art inspired by Black Literature' at the inaugural Black Lit Fest.
Participants ages 9–18 will create original artwork inspired by a Black authored book of their choosing. Finished pieces will be displayed as part of the REMIX THE PAGE Exhibit during Family Day of the fest.
Youth artists will have the opportunity to experiment within a wide variety of creative forms, including:
Mixed media collage
Painting/Sketching
Upcycled and found-object art
Wearable art
Book-inspired visual storytelling
or anything they can image
Workshop materials will be provided and will include a variety of creative and upcycled supplies, many sourced from thrift stores and repurposed materials.
The workshop is designed so that participants can complete their artwork within a single workshop session, with volunteers available to support youth throughout the creative process.
Participants will receive:
The opportunity to display their artwork at the Black Lit Festival
The ability to keep their artwork after the exhibit
A meal during the workshop
A participation prize received at the conclusion of the exhibit
