Young At Art 2025
The 37th Annual Young At Art Juried Exhibition 2025
Sponsored by EHCC and the Hawai‘i District Department of Education
This yearʻs theme is UnderStory, an open prompt to help students consider what lies beneath the surface of themselves, their artwork, and the world around them. We encouraged educators to explore this theme in whatever ways were most appropriate and meaningful for their students. Students and teachers worked with layering of various media, learned about layers occurring in nature, and pondered the layers of meaning in any story, poem, or image.
The Young at Art annual juried exhibition celebrates National Youth Art Month by recognizing the excellence, creativity and originality of K-12 students on Hawai’i Island in all public, charter, and private schools, as well as home-schooled students.
Young At Art is a community-based art experience. 189 artworks will be showcased at 9 locations around the island, aiming to bring more visibility to Youth Art Month (March) and the importance of arts education.
Made possible with support from Hawai‘i Community Foundation, and Coldwell Banker Island Properties.
March 8th, 2025: The 37th Annual Young At Art Exhibition Awards Ceremony begins (11:00 AM) at YAS FEST with a satellite exhibit featuring the award winning artworks.
