Visual Arts Mississauga (VAM) at Riverwood is pleased to announce it has launched its province-wide Teen Art Contest, #MyStillLife. Young Artists are invited to submit an original still life for the chance to win a complementary spot in VAM's popular Online Portfolio Development Course.

"I invite dedicated Secondary students who plan to pursue a career in the Arts, to submit their artwork to our #mystillLife contest," explains Wendy Heagney-Bakewell, Program Coordinator at Visual Arts Mississauga. "Each student submission will receive professional feedback and we look forward to awarding 1 young artist a complementary spot in the upcoming Spring session of our Online Portfolio Development Course.
