“They say a picture paints a thousand words and the Emerge: Youth Art Awards are a real chance to be creative,” Mayor Max Hipkins said.
“Nedlands prides itself on being inclusive and embracing this philosophy has attracted the talents of many artistic and creative people to the area over the years.
“It’s an asset that should be nurtured and encouraged to grow naturally, helped by our strong facilitation role that helps to support and develop creative expression.”
