Every Victim Matters Youth Art Show

As part of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week (April 21 - 27, 2013), the

Edmonton Restorative Justice Network (ERJN) invites young people between the

ages of 12 - 24 to express themselves on the issue of “Every Victim Matters”.

The theme for NVCAW 2013 is “We All Have a Role” All Canadians can play a

role in helping victims of crime access the services available to them. The first

level of support for many victims of crime is family and friends. NVCAW 2013

provides a backdrop for a national discussion about the laws, services and

programs available for victims of crime at the community, provincial, territorial

and federal level.

This Youth Art Show is an exciting opportunity to:

• Artistically express your thoughts and feelings on what it means to have a role

in helping victims of crime, and how you can support others who are suffering

from bullying, racism, homophobia and other types of injustice.

• Share and show your work in a public exhibition

• Win one of two $300 grand prizes (12-16 year old & 17-24 year old categories)

The fourth annual Every Victim Matters youth art show will be on display from

April 21 – 27, 2013. Last year the exhibition featured drawing, painting, sculpture,

installation, video, rap, poetry, music, and art performances from youth. The

perspectives of youth matter! We want your voice heard!
