Youth Arts Central Otago What's On – June & July 2026
Kia ora koutou and welcome to our winter newsletter! Throughout June and July, there are plenty of exciting events, activities, and competitions on offer, giving you lots of opportunities to get involved, have fun, and connect with others. Check out what’s coming up and make the most of the season! Love writing, art, or design? Over the next two months, there are heaps of local creative competitions to get involved in, including Cromwell’s Light Up Your Hat Competition, the Checketts McKay Short Story Competition, WoolOn’s Pink Plaster Competition, and the Central Lakes Polyfest T-Shirt Design Competition. WoolOn is also encouraging young designers to enter its main award categories so it's time to set your creativity loose. Get featured on our new website! We're excited to be working on a brand-new Central Otago Arts website! To help bring our Youth page to life, we're looking for landscape-format artworks created by our region's young people. If you've made something you're proud of, send a photo/digital file of it to [email protected] with your name and the artwork title for a chance to be featured. Looking for a winter project? Check out Mr Printables for free
creative activities for all ages. Their animal cross-stitch cards are a fun, cosy way to spend a chilly afternoon. Feeling more adventurous? Grab a torch or some fairy lights and try light painting photography. If you can borrow a
DSLR camera, a couple of quick YouTube tutorials will have you creating glowing artworks in no time. We'd love to see your outcomes. We hope you enjoy some creative time this winter. Stay
warm,
Isabel
