Youth Art Exhibition

This exhibition, presented by The Warhol’s Youth Arts Council in spring 2019, will be a visual exploration of identity and representation. Throughout his career, Andy Warhol both embraced and challenged traditional ideas about portraiture. In the age of selfies, reality TV, and surveillance, how do we represent ourselves and others in art? Pittsburgh-area teens were invited to submit original “portraiture” in any medium that explores ideas about self, identity, lived experience, community, and culture. Works submitted were reviewed and curated by teens on The Warhol’s Youth Arts Council based on creativity, technique, and theme.
