The Young Artist Open exhibition has been held annually at the Ferens Art Gallery since 2003 and celebrates the creative talent of young people in Hull and the surrounding area.
Artworks are submitted by individuals, schools, and local community groups, aged 15 and under. Each year there is a huge variety of work on display, from paintings and drawings to pastels, collage, and prints.
Young artists are in the running to win prizes in three age categories, generously sponsored by the Friends of the Ferens and the Hull and East Riding Branch of The Arts Society.
Submissions are open 30 June – 13 July 2025. Please visit our website for full guidance.
