Joy? Anxiety? Frustration? Contentment? Courage? Small people can have big feelings ... and big creativity too!Part of the 2025 @DunedinFringeFestival, this exhibition is organised by Sylvie Wardell (age 11), who wanted to show adults that just because we are small, doesn't mean we think small or feel small.
She believes that "some people think that because we are young our work is messy, or unreadable, or not relatable. But I feel like if we showcase our artwork and how much effort we put into things, we can show people what we mean, so they can understand us better."
Sylvie picked the theme of 'big feelings' and invited children ages 0 to 13 from around Ōtepoti Dunedin to respond in any medium they wanted. A panel of judges were also invited to award a variety of prizes for different categories: sponsored by Art Zone and the University Book Shop.
The artworks will be on display at the Hanover Street venue (free entry):
Mon 17th, Tue 18th, Wed 19th, Thu 20th, Fri 21st March 3.30pm - 6.00pm
Sat 22nd March 10.00am - 4.00pm
Sun 23rd March 10.00am - 2.00pm
Visitors coming to view the art will also have a chance to participate themselves on a large shared canvas.
