Ferens Art Gallery in Hull is inviting children to submit artwork for its annual exhibition, which has been running since 2003. The exhibition accepts paintings, drawings, pastels, collages, and prints, with prizes awarded in three age categories: six and under, seven to 11, and 12 to 15. Prizes are donated by the Friends of the Ferens and the Hull and East Riding branch of The Art Society.
The exhibition matters because it celebrates young artists' achievements and encourages continued creative practice. By providing a platform for children to display their work in a professional gallery setting, it fosters early engagement with the visual arts and builds community pride among participants and their families.
