Young Artists Program

PTG & AV Gallery

We Support Young Artists

We believe that young artists are essential to create a better world. Artists help us understand different perspectives and ideas in a way unlike any other. In a world threatened by a concept of computers replacing people, we feel it essential to support the next round of creative thinkers, leaders, and muses.

Deadline December 31st

Lyric Interpretation

Pick a song written by Bob Dylan, Prince, or Dolly Parton that connects with you. You might need to ask your cool aunt for some recommendations.

Which lyric sticks with you? Which words do we need to focus on? How does the song make you feel? What can we learn from the song?

Now, using all (or none) of that, create a work of art based on the song you have chosen.

Remember, you need to submit a short paragraph talking about your intent for the piece and what you hope to accomplish with the piece.

We look forward to sharing your artwork with the world!
