Koncept: Outer Verse 2023

Koncept: Art Show

Led by the youth of the community, the annual art show is an art exhibit or event that is organized, curated, and primarily created by young people. The goal of a youth-led art show is to provide young artists with an opportunity to showcase their work and gain recognition for their talents.

Young artists take on various roles, such as curators, artists, designers, and event planners. They are responsible for selecting the artwork that will be included in the show, designing the exhibition space, and promoting the event. Some youth-led art shows may also include educational or skill-building components, such as workshops, artist talks, or youth-led panel discussions.

The annual art show provide young artists with valuable experience in the arts and allow them to take an active role in shaping the cultural landscape of their communities. They also provide an opportunity for young people to share their perspectives and voice through art, and for community members to engage with and appreciate the work of young artists.

**Welcome to Koncept: Outerverse – 2nd Annual Youth Art Show**

**Our Purpose:**
Koncept: Outerverse was born from a profound commitment to empower lives and transform communities. We recognize the extraordinary talents of our young artists and the need to provide them with a platform to shine. Our purpose is clear: to offer emerging artists an opportunity to exhibit their work, gain exposure, and, most importantly, retain 100% of the proceeds from their art sales.
