ArtBeat New Zealand
National Child Art Competition & Exhibitions
Its vision is to promote visual culture, understanding of issues among children and youth from their own perspective and present children’s view as a point of discourse to the community. It celebrates children and youth as artists.
ArtBeat offers children an open space to freely express themselves, be more critical about life experiences and connect with family, friends and community.
New Zealand Citizen, permanent residents and children and young people living in NZ only can submit their artworks and participate.
Theme
Diversity / Inclusion
Diversity is composed of differing elements or qualities, which makes us unique. Just see how many colors, kinds of birds and animals, toys and buildings and languages we have around us. Understanding and celebrating diversity promotes coexistence, inclusion and social cohesion, ensuring people feel welcome through our behaviours and social norms.
We invite you to explore diversity and inclusion in your own unique ways through the following topics, and express through artworks;
Cultural | Natural | Colors | Languages | Gender | Religion | Ethnic
Young artists are encouraged to think and paint unconventional ideas, using colors which are unusual and unique.
