Heads up, Merritt’s young creative community: the Herald is looking to feature your artwork on page six each week.
We are putting out a call to Merritt’s student population, of any grade, to submit their drawings each week to have a chance to be printed right here, one per week, for the foreseeable future.
The Herald has decided to try to take a more local approach to our weekly cartoon. As a group, we feel that the community would rather see a piece of work drawn with love by a local student, than say, a political piece that can be seen in any less community-friendly paper.
I say our weekly ‘cartoon’, but we are certainly not limiting submissions to cartoons. Drawings of any sort we are happy to accept, and look forward to seeing what sort of creativity the young community of Merritt can come up with.
This is an idea that is still in its infancy: for now, submissions can be made by dropping them off at the Herald office on Granite Avenue, or sent digitally to either [email protected] or [email protected]. Hey, even take a photo of the artist holding up their artwork, if you wish. We certainly welcome any and all submissions.
Teachers, principals, school staff, and parents, please encourage your young ones to showcase their talents to the public. We firmly believe that the Merritt community would love to see their artwork.
Students, let’s give your parents and guardians something to hang on the fridge.
