4) Completed artwork must be dropped off/submitted Friday, May 22, 10a.m.-noon at Enos Garcia Elementary.
The virtual exhibition will be displayed online at tcataos.org starting June 5.
“This kids’ self-portrait show offers children the opportunity to make their self-portrait, be creative during this time and share their work in a project that will then be available for others to see. TCA is thrilled to participate in this collaboration with the Town of Taos Community Events and Taos Ski Valley to serve the community.” Said TCA Executive Director Colette LaBouff.
Winners will be selected from the following age categories. Ages 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10. One prize in each category will be given by TCA, Town of Taos and TSV.
