ANNOUNCEMENT
ART Contest For Youth 16 and Under

For the cover of this year’s festival program booklet, we have created an art contest for youth 16 and under.

The deadline is April 21st, and the drop off point is at the Collingwood Public Library. The theme is MUSIC, of course.

The winner also gets a FREE digital pass to our 2021 summer season!

The Ontario Arts Council (OAC) is a publicly funded agency of Ontario’s Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries. The OAC’s primary purpose is to award grants to professional artists and arts organizations.
