A Huge Congratulations to Our 2026 Youth Public Art Winners!
1st place Winner, Tiffany Alba, THS Scholar’s Academy
The Youth Public Art component of Due South gives young artists the opportunity to contribute creatively to the festival while gaining hands-on experience in public artmaking and community engagement. Through this program, students work alongside artists and educators to create meaningful works that celebrate imagination, collaboration, and the power of the arts in public spaces. We are especially grateful to Flowers Foods for their annual support, which helps make year-round arts education opportunities for youth possible and continues to inspire the next generation of creative thinkers.
