Roots and Wings: A Creative Exploration of Growth
PAMA’s Youth Council recently celebrated emerging artistic expression by inviting youth and creative minds to explore the theme of growth through art.
Seeking to provide a platform for Peel’s young talent, PAMA's Youth Council invited artists (ages 14-21) who live or go to school in the Peel Region to submit their work for Roots and Wings: A Youth Art Exhibition.
The theme for the exhibition was "Growth". We asked artists to consider the question: What does growth mean to you? to be interpreted as self-growth, social growth, community growth, physical growth (e.g. plants), and more.
The Art Showcase event took place on May 24, 2025, at PAMA.
Below are the submissions from the Youth Artists.
Seeking to provide a platform for Peel’s young talent, PAMA’s Youth Council strives to foster inspiration, encourage expression, and develop leadership skills while promoting the rich culture and history of Peel Region.
