JAWS YOUTH VOTING
Welcome to the JAWS Youth Art Exhibition, an annual showcase celebrating the creativity of student artists from across the Mobile, Alabama area. This year’s gallery features original artwork created by students from 10 local schools, each inspired by the history, culture, and spirit of jazz.
As you explore the gallery, you’ll see the title of each piece and the student artist’s name displayed beneath the artwork. When submitting your vote, please include both the artwork title and the artist’s name in each voting field so your vote can be counted correctly.
