YOUTHART 2015 at Art at Linden Gate has been enormously well received, with the winners receiving their awards from Yarra Ranges mayor Maria McCarthy.
After the success of last year’s event, organisers again encouraged the next generation of local artists to submit entries for the visual art exhibition.
Seventeen artists, aged between 17 and 24, are exhibiting their work at Linden Gate Gallery, which will be on display until 25 May.
Among the winners were Rob Baselier, 18, from Millgrove, for digital photography altered using Javascript.
Micaela Bumpstead, 19, from Warrandyte was awarded the Art at Linden Gat Acquisitive prize for a painting/photograph of Indigenous Man.
Local musicians Anthony Gerace, Valerie Avenue, and Luke and Loz were among the local musicians who entertained the visitors.
Meanwhile, the RACV Club People’s Choice will be announced after 25 May at the end of the exhibition.
