Young Art Collectors Gallery

What is the Young Art Collectors Gallery?
The Young Art Collectors Gallery features artwork created and provided by the Festival artists. All artwork is sold at $10 or less. And, only youth ages 14 and under can enter the Gallery. No adults are allowed!

What artwork is in the Young Art Collectors Gallery?
Donated original artwork is in the Gallery which may have a value of higher than $10. However, by offering original art work which is at least equal in quality to pieces sold in the artists' booth, youth are exposed to art and hopefully will become lifelong patrons of the arts.

"My six year old granddaughter, Maddie, helped me with the College Hill Arts Festival two years ago. Her joy in carefully choosing a gift for her grandmother from the Young Art Collectors Gallery is hard to describe. I was so moved by how an experience like this can influence the mind of a child. Maddie could not stop talking about it! I love this use of our donated art work. Now I load them up!
