Youth Arts and Literature Exhibition opening night an inspirational success

SMRC hosted the Youth Arts and Literature Exhibition opening night on Monday 26th October at local Connection Arts Space in Dandenong.

Around 20 extraordinary submissions were made from a diverse range of young people all showcasing a display of talent and commitment. The night saw local community and families showing their support and recognition for the artwork and exhibition. Under the theme of ‘GROUNDED’, we heard the emotional and inspiring stories and life journeys captured through literacy and art. The art will be proudly displayed at Connection Arts Space, 1-9 Walker St, Dandenong until 26th October.

SMRC would like to thank the judges, Connection Arts Space, Zart Art and Casey Cardinia Library for their support in making the exhibition a success.
