Community Youth Art Exhibition & Awards 2026 - 'Colour the World with Care'

The Medical Missionaries of Mary, based in Drogheda, are an Irish-founded international organisation working to support health, care and community initiatives around the world.

As part of Spring Fest 2026, taking place on Saturday 18 April, we are inviting young people to take part in a Youth Art Exhibition & Awards.This year’s theme is “Colour the World with Care.”

The theme encourages students to explore creativity while reflecting on ideas of community, wellbeing and sustainability that are increasingly important in today’s world.

Students are invited to create an original artwork exploring their own interpretation of care. This might be expressed through ideas of health, community, sustainability, climate, kindness, resilience, or the future they hope to see.

Artworks will be exhibited during our Spring Fest event, celebrating the creativity and perspectives of young artists within the wider community.

Awards will be presented on the day, and the winning artwork will feature as the cover of the MMM 2027 Calendar, which is a special edition in celebration of our 90th Anniversary.

Age Group: 12-18yrs

Submission deadline: Tuesday 14 April 2026
