February 8, 2019 - The Mariposa County Arts Council is now accepting submissions for their annual Young Masters Youth Exhibition, scheduled to open Thursday, February 28 at the Treetop Gallery in Mariposa.

This annual exhibition provides youth in Mariposa an opportunity to express their ideas, narratives and inspirations, and share them with their community through their own piece of visual artwork.

This year’s theme Sonic Vision invites Mariposa’s youth to take an imaginative approach visualizing sound, touch, smell, or taste.

Work in the following media will be accepted: photography, drawings, paintings, prints, mixed media, 3-dimensional work (wood, metal, cloth, jewelry, papier-mâché, and sculpture), and multimedia/digital work.

Youth living in Mariposa County who are between the ages of 5 and 18 are encouraged to submit one piece of work to the Mariposa County Arts Council for consideration now until Monday, February 18, 2019.

An opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Thursday, February 28, 2019 between 3:30 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. at the Treetop Gallery, and will be available for viewing until Sunday, March 31, 2019.
