Call for Artists Description:

Let’s celebrate and share your art!

Youth ArtRich 2026 is looking for artwork from youth artists (ages 3-19) to share in an exhibition in the Richmond Cultural Centre Annex’s Lounge (7660 Minoru Gate) from June 6 to June 21. All forms of visual art (including drawing, pottery, sculpture, painting, etc) are eligible. To apply, fill in the online form with 1-2 images and information about your artwork(s) (or your child’s artwork): https://richmondartscoalition.com/artrich2026artistcall/

Youth ArtRich 2026 is a youth art exhibition and a community celebration of Richmond’s talented youth artists, showcasing a diverse range of youth artists engaging with an eclectic array of styles and subject matter. Youth artists who take part in the in-person exhibition will receive a small art kit as a thank you, and can take home their artwork(s) after the exhibition closes. Youth artists will also have the option of being included in an online exhibition.

AI policy: This exhibition aims to encourage child and youth artists to create their own artworks; we are not interested in exhibiting the results of AI prompts. If AI tools, or software that makes use of AI, are used in any way in the artwork’s creative process, please describe how so in the online form.

Due to limited physical space, we may not be able to accept every applicant. We will contact every artist shortly after the artist call deadline. If you would like to send in a larger submission from a group of students, feel free to email those submissions to rac@richmondartscoalition.com .

And feel free to email if you have any questions!
