Annual Youth Art Exhibition Opening Reception

Experience the creative projects of our EPIC Arts & Youth Art Mentoring artists!

Our Youth Art Mentoring and EPIC Arts programs encourage young artists in Denver schools to use art as their voice to speak about issues affecting their communities and their lives.

In this exhibit, you’ll find diverse mediums that inspire the viewer to learn more about social issues, interact with the pieces, and think critically about our experiences from a different perspective.

Youth were encouraged to be agents of change in their communities. Here's what they have to say!

Opening reception: May 17, 5-8pm at RedLine.

Exhibition on display from May 17-June 16, 2024.
