  • painting
  • drawing
  • printmaking
  • photography
  • digital media
  • mixed media
  • collage
  • 2D fiber arts, etc.

Additionally, the flexibility of this show allows young artists to explore ideas and showcase their creativity.

Similarly, the County of Mariposa, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the California Arts Council partially support this new initiative. It reflects their dedication to fostering creativity in the community.
