St Albans Visual Arts Festival

Preview evening | 6 pm - 8 pm, Saturday 30 April

Public viewing and sale | 11 am-4 pm, Sunday 1 May

Herts Young Homeless is working with the St Albans Visual Arts Festival this year on an exciting exhibition showcasing some of Hertfordshire’s best talent.

Local artists are encouraged to submit a piece of art to sell at the exhibition, the proceeds of which will support the work of hyh*.

In addition, young people across Hertfordshire (Year 10 – Year 13) are invited to enter their work into a competition to win a painting lesson for 2 with Georgie Mason, whose work has been shown at the Royal Academy Summer Festival. Georgie says “This is such a great opportunity to get creative for a great cause! So roll your sleeves up and get messy, and I can't wait to meet the two winners in my studio on a farm in London, later in the year!”

There will be two categories (Years 10-11 and Years 12-13). The best pieces will feature as part of the exhibition. All the proceeds of sale will go to hyh**.

All artwork to be submitted by April 15th 2022
