City Library's 2022 t(w)een art contest calls for tweens and teens in grades 6 to 12 on the North Shore to share artwork that evokes the way you have experienced the past two years. What would you like people to remember about this time we’re in, 50 years in the future?
Short-listed artworks will be displayed at a community eExhibit at MONOVA – Museum & Archives of North Vancouver in June, and on the library’s website and social media.
