Calling All Young Artists!
As part of its youth engagement activities this fall, the Blackburn Community Association (BCA) is inviting Blackburn youth aged 7 to 16 to get creative and participate in our Fall & Halloween Art Contest!
Grab your pencils, paints, markers, scissors—or whatever helps bring your imagination to life—and create an original work of art inspired by Fall or Halloween.
Your artwork can be spooky, silly, colourful, cozy, mysterious, or completely unexpected – anything that makes you think of this magical time of year.
Entries can be drawings, paintings, collages, digital artwork, or mixed-media creations. Let your imagination run wild!
