Youth in P-art-liament

This annual program invites Ontario youth, aged 12 to 18, to share their artistic perspectives through a public exhibition of their artwork at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Selected works will be featured throughout the historic halls of Ontario's Legislative Building, offering visitors a glimpse into the creativity and passion of young Ontarians. 

The program culminates in an Open House event - a day filled with interactive workshops, engaging speakers, and activities for participants, their families, and guests. 

This year’s theme is: “The world through my eyes.” Artists are invited to interpret the world as they experience it; submissions can include depictions of people, places, and things that are important to them. 

Submissions are accepted in all visual media, including photography, sculpture, ceramics, pottery, drawing (ink, pencil, charcoal), and painting (acrylic, oil, watercolour). Note that access to electricity and/or outlets is not available. 

Deadline Extended! Applications are open from October 10 to November 14, 2025.
