Description

 Join us for "My Story Revealed", a global student art exhibit at the New Canaan Library!

“My Story Revealed" invites you on a visual journey through the heart of personal and cultural narratives. This exhibit honors the art of storytelling by showcasing the compelling and diverse experiences of some of the 8-18 year old students taking part in our international Global Voices - ArtLink exchanges over three decades.

Whether their pieces are beautifully rendered or simply drawn, delightful or thought provoking, the creation of these pieces has been a journey of self-discovery. Through their work, the young artists have expressed their identities, shared their stories, and conveyed the aspects of their lives and society they treasure - or are concerned about.

This collection brings together diverse artistic youth voices from 28 ArtLink partner countries, transcending political systems and geographical boundaries. We believe that art is a universal language, uniting us through the shared experiences and dreams of its young creators, promoting a common humanity that will lead to a more peaceful future.

As you explore the exhibit, we invite you, the viewer, to reflect on your own story, your own journey, cultivating a deeper sense of empathy and appreciation for the multi-faceted tapestry of human experiences we are all part of. We hope to see you there!
