Dear Asian Youth is an annual juried high school exhibit that aims to showcase the creative work of emerging artists in a professional setting, offering a platform for young voices to be heard and seen. Rooted in the vibrant stories and experiences of today’s youth in the DFW metroplex, this exhibit celebrates the range of cultural narratives that shape our communities. Through this collection of art, which are selected by their peers, the installation not only highlights the personal journeys of its creators but also proves that a career in the arts is not only possible but viable.
With an emphasis on empowering the next generation, Dear Asian Youth serves as a space to elevate future leaders in the arts, inspiring others to pursue their creative passions and to see the arts as a meaningful and sustainable career path. By sharing stories that resonate with both the youth and broader audiences, the exhibit encourages reflection, dialogue, and the search for inspiration, creating a ripple effect that encourages others to dream big and follow their creative ambitions.
