We are proud to announce that three of Venice Arts' young artists are recipients of this year's prestigious National YoungArts Awards, bringing to 8 the number of our participants who have won YoungArts awards over the last few years. Kayla, one of only 7 photography finalists selected nationwide, will travel to Miami to work with master artists, as well as compete for Gold and Silver scholarships and the opportunity to be named a Presidential Scholar in the Arts. Esmeralda and RahSan, winning an honorable mention in film and a merit award in photography, respectively, will participate in the regional programs. Check out some of their work here.
A special shout-out to all of the incredible artist-mentors who help young people at Venice Arts develop their talents and prepare their work for submission to competitions, festivals, and awards!
