2012 Kids Art Contest Winners

Children from all around the Queen City used crayons, markers, paint, watercolors and cameras to showcase their representation of “A World of Color,” this year’s contest theme. We received almost 400 entries from children throughout Charlotte and surrounding communities that were filled with vivid, vibrant colors that captured the spirit of art and creativity.

Winners were selected by a group of VIP judges, and will be celebrated at the Kids Art Contest reception, April 22, 2-4 p.m., at the Levine Museum of the New South, where certificates will be available for pick up. Join us at the reception, meet the artists, and view the winning artwork and other selected entries.
