Dubai, UAE – March 2 nd , 2024: SEE Institute will host the finals of TEEN ART AWARDS 2024, a contemporary Art Award Ceremony that identifies creative talent. The ceremony includes activities that focus on supporting the growth of international teenagers, including education workshops and master classes. For the second season, teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 will be receiving professional orientation for their future careers, and they will also be getting a motivational speech on “how to be focused on your aims.”

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.
