2023 Young Artists’ Showcase
The Yavapai College Prescott Art Gallery presents the 2023 Young Artists’ Showcase! As a celebration of local teen artists, selected high school students will experience what it’s like to show their work in a professional gallery. This year’s juror, artist and YC instructor Rita Toikka, chose 122 artworks from among nearly 300 submissions. The featured artists come from seven area high schools, including Prescott High School, Bradshaw Mountain, Chino Valley, Pinnacle, Mayer, and Camp Verde High Schools, as well as the Orme School.
