About the Exhibit:

Waterfall Arts celebrates Youth Art Month with its annual Young Artists’ Gallery Takeover. More than 200 works by Waldo County’s next generation of artists will be on display throughout the month of March. This epic display of creativity is a must-see and inspires viewers of all ages!
The Young Artists’ Gallery Takeover showcases the vast array of talent from Waldo County’s up-and-coming young artists working in paint, photography, ceramics, and other media.  Works of art from artists ranging from prekindergarten children through 18-year-old artists across our community will be on display in the windows of downtown Belfast’s merchants and businesses, both galleries at Waterfall Arts and at the Belfast Public Library.

Exhibition Dates:

The exhibition will be on view in both galleries at Waterfall Arts, as well as in the Belfast Free Library, and in shop windows throughout downtown Belfast from March 1st through March 31st, 2023.
