We're inviting teens to create a piece of art using a tiny 10x10cm canvas on the theme of IDENTITY. Your work will be featured in exhibitions in Frankton and Wānaka Library.

The Whakatipu (Frankton) Art Show is open to high school students in years 9-13.

The Upper Clutha (Wānaka) Art Show is open to high school students in years 7-13.

How it works

Pick up your 10x10cm canvas from Frankton or Wānaka Library. There is a limit of 50 canvases/entries at both branches.

You may participate anonymously if you choose.

Start creating your artwork on the theme of identity. 

You can choose any medium you like: photography, painting, sculpture (cannot extend more than 2cm from the canvas), mixed media, or a QR code to your music, a video, a game you built, or even a music playlist.

You can attend sessions in Frankton or Wānaka Library to create your artwork with supplies provided, or create your artwork at home.
