Announcement
ALL YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ARTISTS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT
Creative Schools this year partnered up with the Young London Print Prize, a new prize that champions the ability of young people to engage in their own personal artistic practice. It bridges the gap between compulsory education and the contemporary art world by directly involving young artists and printmakers within it.
A programme was co-designed with schools from East, South and West London to ensure it reflects the latest social issues and curriculum needs. This year the theme was Climate Art. CPD and workshops in primary schools were delivered and a group of students in Year 12 was identified who judged the entries, learned about careers in the arts, and curated this element of Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.
Every submission to the Young London Print Prize is also captured in a book, so that we start to elevate art education and the role of young artists from all kinds of backgrounds into the mainstream conversation about the history of contemporary art.
PRIZE WINNERS announced
The winning entry by Meryl Basoa, a Year 6 pupil from Heronsgate Primary School, is called Climate Love.
The second prize was scooped by Land of Peace, a beautiful monoprint by Mohammad Juman from Oxford Gardens Primary School in north Kensington.
The third prize Glowing Moon, created by Zahra Alam from Seven Mills Primary on the Isle of Dogs.
