CALL FOR ART: Are you a young artist in 6th through 12th grade? Your work could be exhibited at Urban Arts Space in January 2026!

Apply here!

Young Artists of Columbus is a multimedia exhibition curated by Imara Regis that incorporates a range of artistic practices from local Columbus students. The exhibition focuses on grades 6–12 and will provide those students with an opportunity to showcase their talents in a professional gallery setting.

The exhibition will take place at Urban Arts Space from January 13–31, 2026. It will be open to the public to see the artwork, and there will be a reception to celebrate the students' work. Although this show is designed to inspire the youth to see the arts as a career, you can also apply if art is just an interest. 

The application will close on December 22, 2025, and all applicants will be informed about their acceptance to the show on December 31. Plans to drop off your artwork or to have it picked up will be coordinated once you know your artwork has been accepted. 

if you need any advice, or help with your application, you can email the exhibition organizer at imarajr@gmail.com.

PLEASE NOTE: If you would like to submit more than one piece, submit another application please.
