Every Victim Matters - Youth Multimedia Art Show

As part of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week (April 18 - 24, 2010), the Edmonton Restorative Justice Network (ERJN) invites young people between the ages of 12 - 24 to express themselves on the issue of “Every Victim Matters”.

The purpose of this show, which will be shown at Latitude 53 Gallery
between April 19 - 21, will be an exciting opportunity to:

- Share and show your work in a public gallery
- Express the different perspectives of what it means to be a victim of crime
and/or to know a victim of crime,
- Recognize the voices of today?s youth culture in the city of Edmonton
- Possibly win one of the grand cash prizes (up to $300 for the winners)

Only in its second year, the first ERJN Youth Multimedia Art Show was held on April 30, 2009 and featured 33 artists in drawing, music, painting, sculpture, and filmmaking. With close to 100 guests including city council representation, the show received both news and television coverage. This is an opportunity to artistically express your thoughts and feelings on the issue of crime in our community, from bullying, theft, and any other types of injustices. The perspectives of youth matter, and we want your voices heard!

Please note: Deadlines for Submission forms are:
Friday, March 26 for multimedia works (music, film and vide, dance) and
Wednesday, April 7, 2010 for visual works (painting, drawing, sculpture)
