YOUTH ARTS BY THE RIVER

March 1, 2009

2009 marked the 12th year that The Youth Arts By The River, youth art show took place, running from February 21, 2009 to March 6, 2009 at the Millpond Center, 106 Victoria Street West, Alliston.

Youth Arts By The River is a juried show for youth, kindergarten to grade 12, of origi-nal art, both two and three-dimensional done within the past year. Each entry received a Certificate of Participation and written feed back from the adjudicator, Sean Dawson.

This year’s show was an astounding success! This would not have been possible without the support of the South Simcoe Public and Catholic School Boards, teacher’s who championed this event along with the parents and friends of the Youth Art Show.

Awards were given in five grade categories.
First prizewinners were: Olivia Fox, Rachel Neilson, Jessica Dockeray Hailey Uens and Christian Poitras
Second prizewinners were: Ethan Munsterman, Isabella Rohner Tensee, Jenna Menchenton, Roxanne Fields, and Sara Trevisan
Third prizewinners were: Gracie Beeharry, Brooke Menchenton, Hannah Fox, Da-nielle Poitras and Kieran Ingram

This year, a new award was given! Roxanne Fields and Christian Poitras re-ceived the Jurors Choice Award. They will get a private lesson with a well-known local practicing artist of their choice, selected from a list of artists who have vo-lunteered their time for this award.

Mo Bayliss, led a successful hands on workshop for participants to make their own Rock ‘n Cave Art, hear stories and view a videotape about the Peterborough Pe-troglyph’s!

The Youth Arts By The River Art Show continues until March 6, 2009 All art will be taken down and picked up March 6 between 3:00pm to 5:00pm. The winning en-tries will be shown again May 29, 2009 during the Festival Celebration Concert and Showcase of South Simcoe...
