Our Future! Support Local Youth Artists in Pittsburgh
During the month of April, BOOM Concepts will be launching a youth centered exhibition that will be accompanied by workshops and programs throughout the month. Our team is currently seeking donations to stand by the City of Pittsburgh and the Urban Redevelopment Authority in support of BOOM Concepts youth programs.
April’s Unblurred at BOOM Concepts will be centered around the youth artist in the City of Pittsburgh. This art show will provide an opportunity for many artists to exhibit their original work for the first time! BOOM Concepts will be accepting works from youth artists from Pre-K through 12th grade. Schools, community organizations, and community partners can submit multiple works representing the youth engaged in their programs.
The theme of the exhibition is “Our Future!” as youth will be encouraged to create art focused on what they want to see for their own future and the future of Pittsburgh. All works of art submitted within the guidelines will be accepted and displayed. After the initial exhibition at BOOM Concepts, the youth work will be displayed during Pittsburgh’s Art All Night.
All funds raised will be used to purchase supplies for student interactions, host one TeenBloc Studio Saturday in both February and March that includes the supplies and a two hour time slot for creation and an activity co-facilitated between Christa Drew and Darrell Kinsel, host one three-hour work day and installation session during the week prior to the April 3rd Unblurred exhibition and BOOM will plan and host an additional date for youth activities ie. screen printing of t-shirts and posters. Additional budget information can be found at Our Future!
