The size and magnitude of the award
is entirely dependent on the success of the donations, fundraising and sponsorship.
Once a year awards are presented to the kids who have
been chosen by their peers & community. Formal submission to a 'professional' panel may deter
some kids, so to keep the project casual and approachable
to the kids, submissions remain within the school, by
the kid's for the kids. The recipient (s) of the award
are chosen by their peers. It is the kid's themselves
who arrange a local "showing" in the gym or
for public viewing. Tickets are issued to attendees. Children
vote for their favorite piece by placing their ticket
in an envelope or bag provided with each submission. Optionally
adults can make a small donation to be afforded the opportunity
to attend the exhibit and vote for their favorite entry the evening of the exhibit. In case of a tie, a panel of jurors would make
the final decision.
This initiative is open to all school age children, although
the age range of for the awards is reserved for children
12-17 years of age. Children of all ages are
encouraged to participate in the exhibitions and showings.
Students who show initiative in the support of the project
are also eligible for awards. Prior to the end of each
school year, the award (s) will be presented to the winners.
A small online gallery like those similar to a facebook
page or blog has been made available for kid's to showcase
their art online .
The founders can supply the initial award if necessary. Perhaps the first year's
award will be as simple as art supplies or instructional
art books as a token of appreciation for the creative
initiative a deserving student shows. Above and beyond
the simplest of awards that can be supplied by the volunteers,
the monies collected from donations, sponsors and fundraising initiatives will determine the
caliber of the award (s) granted. The enthusiastic support
of the community and school is the backbone of this initiative.
We imagine a little project like Kid's Arctic Art Incentive Inc. with the help of its supporters, will flower into a fantastic opportunity for the children and communities of Canada's arctic to be enriched and inspired by art worldwide.
Kind and creative regards,
Kim Hunter
Founder of Kid's Arctic Art Incentive Inc.
