Artist in Residence 2021 - Sarah R Muir
Through Youth Action’s annual Young Artist In-Residence Program, we commission a young artist to create an artwork for the cover of our annual report, co-designing its concept in relation to our theme for the year. We are proud to highlight and support emerging artists across NSW.
This year's theme was youth voice, with a focus on why it's so important for young people's voices to be included in conversations that directly impact them and their communities. During Youth Week we placed a call out for NSW young artists between the ages of 12 - 24 to submit an artwork. The calibre of the work that was submitted was outstanding. This year's artist in residence is Sarah R Muir, with her work, To Be Seen and not Heard.
