Young Creators – Online Showcase and Competition – Powered by Amazon

The Greater Augusta Arts Council in partnership with Amazon, is proud to present the the Arts in the Heart of Augusta Festival Young Creators Online Showcase & Contest, Powered by Amazon, celebrating the creativity, imagination, and unique perspectives of young artists in our community.

As part of the Arts Council’s Creative Futures Program and Youth Emerging Artist (YEA) Membership, young artists from across the CSRA were invited to share artwork inspired by the people, places, cultures, traditions, and experiences that make their communities special. From music and food to nature, friendship, history, festivals, and everything in between, these young creators show us how art can celebrate what makes us different while bringing us together.
