The Youlou Arts Foundation has announced the return of their annual “Growing Young SVG Artists” programme, scheduled to start from Monday, July 14 and to Friday, July 25.

The programme is for children between the ages of 5 through 12 and offers children the opportunity to explore visual arts. It focuses on educating children about traditional Vincentian art and culture, while also offering broader exposure to art in general, including different media and techniques.

It is aimed at reaching the most economically disadvantaged children who have little or no exposure to visual arts education.

Each year Youlou Arts carefully selects fun, practical and exciting activities to educate the children, with the aim of teaching self discipline, social skills, independent thinking and self expression.

The 2025 programme will continue to focus on climate change as they have done in the past four years. They will continue to create tiny forests, learn how to repair their clothes, and restore the soil.

Art activities will include drawing, painting, and textile art making.

This year, the programme will be offered in four locations: Georgetown, Tourama, Buccament Bay, and Spring Village.
