Exhibition 2025

Have you always wanted to display your work? Do you have something to say to the community? We are working towards a final exhibition for ages 5-25 to display their art at the Rotary Centre for the Arts from May-August 2025!

We strongly encourage youth to attend the workshops to help them gain a diverse understanding of social change and gain a community to help guide them into the exhibition. If they aren’t able to attend, though, we will still be accepting applications for the exhibition until the end February for the exhibition.
