We love celebrating all PNA fans and followers, and this month we’re honouring our creative young talent on 16 June for Youth Day. We admire every art piece we get tagged on our social platforms as well as the engagement we receive on our posts, whether it’s young adults, teenagers, or mom’s commenting on behalf of their little ones, we appreciate your involvement.

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” – Maya Angelou

We pay tribute to the lives of students lost during the Soweto Uprising in 1976 and recognise the role of youth in the liberation of South Africa from the apartheid regime. We encourage every young person to use their creative talents as a means of developing the community. Whether you’re interested in transferring your skills utilising crayons, quilling, paint, watercolour, sketching, mosaic, or dot painting, we couldn’t be more satisfied.

We’re sharing some of the extraordinary pieces we received from our talented artists on Instagram. Thank you to everyone tagging us in your posts, we’re not sure if you know this, but you are a significant inspiration to other artists, the community and of course to us – we are speechless with every piece.
