Chandler, AZ -- Calling all artists ages 6 to 17! The City of Chandler Community Center is set to transform into an energetic gallery featuring artwork from local youth at the Youth and Teen Art Show. Submissions are being accepted through March 11.

From dynamic sculptures to multimedia illustrations to crocheted creations, the Chandler Youth and Teen Art Show invites young artists to share their creativity in a public forum.

"We are thrilled to offer a platform for the Chandler youth community to showcase their vibrant creativity," says Kennedy Terrill, City of Chandler Recreation Coordinator. "The Youth and Teen Art Show is a celebration of the diverse talent that enriches our community. It's a wonderful opportunity for local youth to express and share their unique gifts with fellow community members, fostering a sense of connection."

There is no cost to enter, and artists can submit up to three pieces.
