Herts Young Homeless is working with the St Albans Visual Arts Festival this year on an exciting exhibition showcasing some of Hertfordshire’s best talent.

Local artists are encouraged to submit a piece of art to sell at the exhibition, the proceeds of which will support the work of hyh*.

In addition, young people across Hertfordshire (Year 10 – Year 13) are invited to enter their work into a competition to win a painting lesson for 2 with Georgie Mason, whose work has been shown at the Royal Academy Summer Festival. Georgie says “This is such a great opportunity to get creative for a great cause! So roll your sleeves up and get messy, and I can't wait to meet the two winners in my studio on a farm in London, later in the year!

There will be two categories (Years 10-11 and Years 12-13). The best pieces will feature as part of the exhibition. All the proceeds of sale will go to hyh**.

All artwork to be submitted by April 28th 2022
