Teen Art Awards strives to shed light on the importance of sustainable development and instil into the minds of the youth that they can and should be able to contribute to the process of bettering the future for themselves and everyone else. The question “How do I want to see the world of the future?” was asked of these young individuals, and their perspective on that is what they honed into when they exhibited their artistry on an array of different and diverse creations. The UAE graciously hosted this year’s season as they are optimistic that this event will not only create loyalty within the art community internationally but also encourage the world to view them as an ally to such socially significant projects.
