Calling all artists aged 5-11 in York and surrounding villages this February half term!
Do you want to be the next Claude Monet or Pablo Picasso?
Well, you're in luck because YorKAOS want to showcase your artwork in their 2026 exhibition at SPARK.
The exhibition opens at 11am on Tuesday 17th February so get your work of art ready now.
Founded in 2024 by Ada Jobling, a York primary school student, YorKAOS supports local charities through the sale of artwork.
The first free exhibition was held last year and showcased over 220 artists from 40 primary schools in York, raising £1800 for charity.
At this year's exhibition, each piece will be priced at £10 and when you register, you will be asked if you want your art to be sold.
How to get involved
1) Create your incredible artwork.
2) Register at: Exhibition Front Page - YorKAOS to get your submission number.
3) Drop off your masterpiece at one of the six Explore York libraries (City Centre, Acomb, Clifton, Tang Hall, Dringhouses or Haxby & Wiggington) by Sunday 15th February.
This is not a competition and there is no theme - just pure creativity!
