Th
e Cretans’ Association of Toronto “Knossos” Arkadi Art Exhibition is an opportunity for our youngest members to learn more about the Arkadi Monastery in Crete and share their creative talents!
Youth members are asked to create a piece of artwork that captures the Arkadi Monastery as an important part of our Cretan heritage. It can be a painting, a drawing, a collage – whatever you would like to express your creativity!
We ask that artwork be a maximum of 8.5” x 11” in size, as all artwork is asked to be scanned and submitted via email to catkscholarships@gmail.com.
A panel of members will select one entry in three age categories (ages 0 – 11, ages 12-14, and ages 15-17) to receive a prize! All entries will be displayed on our Association’s website with the first name and age of the artist.
With your artwork submissions, please include your:
