The inaugural year of the Barry and Stella Downs Young Artist Awards was 2018, and it is specifically designed for artists aged 15 to 21. These awards recognize art pieces created using various mediums such as oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, and ink.
The Downs family graciously donates the prize money for this competition, with a generous first prize of $500 and a second prize of $250.
The primary objective of these awards is to motivate and support young, up-and-coming artists in their artistic journey. By showcasing their artwork, it has the potential to inspire them to pursue their passion for art in the long run, and even consider it as a potential career path.
