Pick up a brush or pencil and enter our 8×8 Art Award. 100% of proceeds from the event will go to educating children in Developing Nations.

the 8x8 art award

8×8 To Educate is an art award created by teen Katura Halleday to raise funds to provide an education to girls unable to access school in Mozambique and Tanzania.  The girls enter the scholarship program in grade 8 and are sponsored through to the completion of their chosen university degree.

Artists and creatives of all ages and skill levels enter the award by donating an 8×8″ sized artwork to a 7 day exhibition. All artwork is for sale for $30 during the exhibition. 100% of the profits go to supporting the 8x8 Scholarship program.

The artwork is judged on opening night and the winner receives a wonderful prize of $1000. The winner of the Junior category receives a prize pack.

The exhibition is vibrant, fun, engaging and an exciting opportunity for artists to contribute to the lives of those so much less fortunate than themselves.
