Young people across Scotland have created a dazzling range of artworks for this exhibition. Supported by our team of freelance artists, groups of school children have made inspiring installations, while individuals have responded to an open call to share their art with the world. Young visitors to the exhibition can also get inspired and make their own mark by sending in their art. All artworks by 3 to 18-year-olds, living in Scotland, submitted to our online gallery before October will be added to a looped, digital display in the exhibition.
At the heart of Your Art World is a goal to inspire and empower young people to think and act creatively but there’s also the opportunity to have their artwork showcased by the National Galleries of Scotland.
By providing tools and support, Your Art World demystifies the creative process and makes art accessible to everyone and we’re helping young people across Scotland to discover a whole new world of creative possibilities.
When you visit the Your Art World exhibition, you can view the installations in this interactive display and see what these groups created. Over a ten-week period, artists supported four groups of young people to identify themes that mattered to them. They were challenged to develop their skills in the creation of unique artworks. Oban High pupils chose the theme of VOICE, reflecting the right of every young person to express their views and to be heard. Children from Victoria Primary, Falkirk were curious about WHAT'S INSIDE as they constructed the inside and outside of their collaborative sculptures. Sensory play at Redhall School, Edinburgh led to the creation of beautiful textiles, a bamboo marble run and balls made of yarn and other materials. LIFT kids' club, Edinburgh, got stuck into paint with brilliant energy and enthusiasm.
The exhibition is made possible thanks to funds raised by players of People's Postcode Lottery.
