The private view and prize giving for the 2021 Youth Art show took place on July 22nd in the Sutton Library Gallery. Shortlisted artists gathered along with teachers, family, and friends, to see their work on display and to find out who won this year’s awards. We are delighted to have been able to stage an exhibition of the shortlisted works – the show is now open to all from 23rd July to 5th August during library opening hours in the Sutton Library Gallery, located on the second floor of the library. Please visit and admire the shortlisted works – they represent some of the excellent youth art in our borough.
