This exhibition presents the artworks created by participants from the Jeunesse créative NB Artful Youth program, a provincial high school arts program sponsored by the Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation. Offered through the nine provincial arts centres and the Neqotkuk Art Studio, each location provided five high school students with an opportunity for mentorship and 16 hours of instruction in various mediums. The program encourages students to pursue a fine arts or fine craft career and post-secondary program after graduating from high school. The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is pleased to present the artworks of these ambitious high school students.
