The City of Malibu and the Harry Barovsky Memorial Youth Commission invite local students to participate in the 2020 Student Art Exhibit, which opens with a public reception Friday, February 7, 5 to 7 p.m. at City Hall.
“I look forward to seeing the wide variety of media and depth of artistic expression that our talented young local artists create,” said Mayor Karen Farrer. “I am very proud of the impressive accomplishments of our Youth Commission and their hard work and passion for contributing to the Malibu community.”
The exhibit will feature original artwork by Malibu youth in grades TK-12 and will be open for viewing in City Hall February 10 through March 6 during open hours (Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Fridays 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). The reception on February 7 will include light refreshments and poetry readings by Malibu High School students as part of the Malibu Poet Laureate Program.
Artists may submit artwork Monday, January 20 through Wednesday, January 29, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Michael Landon Center at Malibu Bluffs Park.
Due to the limited amount of gallery space, priority will be given to students residing in Malibu. Artwork submitted after January 29, 2020 will only be considered based on available gallery space.
