Who Are the Artists?
The artwork you see displayed were created by 23 youth artists, ages ranging from 13 to 21. These artists spent over a month diligently working on these pieces and have produced phenomenal work!

Each displayed piece is accompanied with a description for more details.
Art Exhibit Overview
The Region of Durham funded the Durham Community Action Group (DCAG) to host a youth-led and youth-focused event addressing the issue of community violence. One of the ways DCAG decided to promote antiviolence, has been through art. Youth artists from across the Durham region were invited to create an art piece for this exhibit.
DCAG partnered with the Pickering Public Library to display the art pieces the Pickering Central Library during the month of October.
