2011 - Water: Values, Traditions and Cultures
ArtLink 2010-2011 Theme Assignment:
Water and culture are inter-related. Specifically, we asked our participating young artists to choose something they particularly value in their culture and convey how water plays a major or minor part in how this value is carried out.
This exhibition highlights the talents of over 300 young artists from 26 countries. Their work was selected from well over 6000 pieces that were produced as part of Creative Connections’ ArtLink program for the 2010-11 school year.
