Witnessing my boys’ talent shine bright

I am so blessed and I could not be more proud. I started looking for art shows when I noticed the boys drawings just around the house. I noticed the Norman Arts festival was having and ADULT Art contest but allowing accepting a young artist entry for under 18 but only 6 entries.

Both boys were selected for the young artist edition and had to submit 3 pieces for sale at the art show. The judges would rank the top 6.

Jayce’s Dragons eye won 3rd Place. 1st and 2nd place were both 16yr olds. Jayce is 9. Jayden got honorable mention and several people asked him to draw personalized pictures. Jayce sold his first piece of art.

This could be a whole new business we explore for them. ❤️💪🏾🔥Norman

... Read moreArt festivals are wonderful platforms for young and emerging artists to display their talents, gain recognition, and even start their journeys toward professional artistry. Exhibiting at events like the Norman Arts Festival not only highlights individual creativity but also encourages family support and community engagement. For young artists, competitions often offer valuable experience in showcasing their works, receiving feedback from judges, and connecting with other artists. Jayce's achievement, placing third at just nine years old among older competitors, serves as an inspiring reminder of young talent's potential. It’s extraordinary that both boys received recognition, with Jayden also earning honorable mention, indicating a bright future in art for them. As a parent, fostering your children's artistic inclinations can lead to exciting opportunities, from developing skills to turning passions into potential careers. Participating in art shows can jumpstart their journey into the art market, encouraging them to sell pieces, connect with buyers, and receive commissions. Across the globe, youth art events are growing, promoting themes of creativity and innovation while bridging gaps between generations through shared artistic experiences. Discovering the local art scene and actively participating in community events can significantly enhance children's social skills and confidence. Building a portfolio early in their journey can empower them, paving the way for future art endeavors. Keep nurturing your children's talents, and who knows? The next big artist could be right under your roof!
