Juried Youth Art Exhibit

SHI sponsors a biennial Juried Youth Art Exhibit in concert with Celebration to increase the number of young people making high quality pieces and to share their work with the public. The institute makes cash awards to schools of the winners for art supplies to be used by schools or organizations for future instruction in Northwest Coast art. The goals are to help teachers supply materials so they are able to teach Northwest Coast art in school and to encourage youth to stretch themselves and share their work with their peers and the public.
