MOPA’s 15th Annual Juried Youth Exhibition uniquely combines imaginative artworks  responding to two separate thematic calls for submissions: Growing Up and Space. Youth artists in K-12 throughout San Diego and Tijuana were invited to share their unique interpretations of these seemingly disparate themes through photography and video. Through their lenses, powerful voices and common threads emerged.

The young artists rose above these unprecedented times to share compelling stories and perspectives about ambition, transformation, self identity, the earthly, and the ethereal. Finding solace and strength in art, their visions shine brightly into the future and remind us to see beyond what is present and known.

Darkest Nights, Brightest Stars is made possible by the generous financial support provided by: The Bern Schwartz Family Foundation, Farrell Family Foundation, California Arts Council, City of San Diego, Gardner Bilingual Fund
