The Nanaimo Arts Council is looking for youths' interpretations of 'Life on the Waterfront' as part of an emerging artist showcase.
The arts council is accepting submission until Oct. 11 from artists aged 18-29 for its first annual 'emerging talent exhibition' this fall. The council will select up to 20 original two-dimensional works of art based on submitted photos, and two jurors will select the four best pieces to win cash prizes up to $350.
All selected pieces will be exhibited online and in a 12-week exhibition at a local venue, and the exhibition will also include a reception and award ceremony.
There is no cost to enter. All entrants must be members of the Nanaimo Arts Council, but membership is free for students. For artists who are not students, membership is $20.
