The New London Historical Society, Village, and Museum is seeking young artists for its Young at Art Show from 1 to 4 PM on Sunday, May 15, at the New London Historical Society (NLHS) at Little Sunapee Road in New London. The Young at Art Show has been a biennial event since the 1990s.

The Young at Art Show Committee is accepting entries from students in grades kindergarten through high school. The art show is an opportunity for young artists to showcase their artistic talents, as well as the opportunity to publicly display their work.

Each artist may submit one piece of artwork in the following categories: drawing, painting, photography, and three-dimensional. Entry forms must be submitted by Wednesday, May 4.

Cash prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place in each grade category. The awards ceremony will be at 3:30 PM. Winning entries will be exhibited at the Tracy Memorial Library in New London and at Hospital Days in August.
