**************************
In recognition of Black History month, the Newmarket African Caribbean Canadian Association (NACCA) is inviting Newmarket youth in grades 1 to 12 who self-identify as being of African descent to submit artwork in any medium responding to the theme Still I Rise: Celebrating stories of strength, courage, and innovation.

The call for submissions closes on Jan. 11, 2019 at 6 p.m.

This is an opportunity for Newmarket youth to share and express their own individual stories for the community to see.

Students can interpret the theme in any way they see fit, however, they must provide a brief description of the artwork and how it relates to the theme. 

Ten works of art will be chosen from a panel of jurors consisting of members from NACCA, the Town of Newmarket, and a local guest artist. The selected artwork will be on display at the Old Town Hall, 460 Botsford St.,  from Feb. 1 to 23, 2019 in the Community Gallery.
