The smart ARTS Youth Festival is held over National Youth Week (8-17 April) and will present a comprehensive, supported & fun art exhibition experience for young artists aged 15-26 yrs. The smart ARTS Exhibition is themed ‘My Story: Artefacts and Artefiction’ and will explore the power of storytelling.

We are inviting artists to submit artworks on postcards; to create a work of art on one side and share a story, real or imagined, on the other. Dungeons and dragons, beachside sojourns or concrete jungle cabaret, these postcards will form the basis of a collaborative showcase that investigates and celebrates the individual and collective experiences of contemporary youth.

Your artwork can be done in a range of mediums, whether it be drawing, printmaking, photography or collage. You can be as creative as you like with your surface, the only requirements are that your artworks must be associated with the theme of storytelling and conform to a B6 postcard format – see template attached.

You can create your own postcard, or we can post them to you. Contact Christie Torrington on ctorrington@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au with your name, postal address and the number of postcards required.
