pressions of the youth of the county.
"There are 12 pieces," Organizer Britt-
ney Fry explained. "They're all on canvas,
all 3x4, and they'll be up until January."
The panels are done by youth across
the county as part of the Enganging Hu-
ron Youth in Arts Council intiative.
"It's a great start," Kristyn Watter-
worth, who owns Kryart Studios in Bay-
field said. "Kids need to know about the
program, and this will help."
Watterworth, who has her own piece
on display at Goderich, was brought on
by Melina Hussey, one of the original
founders of EHYAC, and she passed on
the message.
Her piece, which features a skateboard
ramp with the Optimist symbol on it, was
inspired by a summer program she fea-
tures at her studio, where youth partici-
pated in all forms of art.
"We put on an outside art and adven-
ture camp for kids, we started them off
with a blank (skateboard) deck, and they
painted it, and had something really their
own," she said. "The final performance
was a piece where the [participants]
jumped on to a canvas that had paint on
it, producing a unique piece. That's where
I got the idea for this piece, and the opti-
mists play a big roll in the camp, so I had
that there."
Anyone interested in participating in
the Kryart Studio camps can contact Wat-
terworth through kryartstudio.ca.
"Engaging Huron's Youth in Arts and
Culture" is a project led by Heritage and
Culture Partnership with community part-
ners and funding support from the Minis-
try of Culture, Huron Business Develop-
ment Corporation, Huron County Library
and the Ontario Arts Council. The goal of
the group is to get Huron Youth involved
and inspired in artistic endeavors.
Any youth interested in joining or par-
ticipating in EHYAC can contact Fry at
519-482-5457 ext. 8, or can log on and
visit their Facebook group, called Engag-
ing Huron's Youth in Arts and Culture.
