Calling All Young Artists Ages 7–16! 🎨
The Near North Palliative Care Network (NNPCN) is inviting young artists to join our Winter Wishes Youth Art Fundraiser, supporting free hospice palliative care, grief support, and connection programs for local families.
Yes, we know it’s only August! We’re building our roster now and would love for you to be part of something special.
This fall, participating artists will create an original 11″ × 14″ landscape-oriented winter-themed painting. Artwork will be featured in a special raffle and selected pieces will be professionally reproduced as Winter Wishes Postcard Sets for holiday giving.
We’ll also spotlight our young artists through bios, stories, and artwork features throughout the campaign.
✨ Full Details Coming in September!
Artwork guidelines, important dates, and submission information will be shared in September.
