The Youth Art Design and Screen Printing Program is a partnership between the Comox Valley Art Gallery and the Wachiay Friendship Centre. The program provides an opportunity for students to develop design skills and explore screen printing techniques in the creation of North West Coast Aboriginal Art.

Students are mentored by acclaimed Northwest Coast First Nations Artist Andy Everson, George Littlechild, graphic Designer Nik Szymanis and local Screen-printing guru Andy MacDougall, in the creation of images that express their culture. In addition to receiving experience in art production, print pro­duction, graphic design, and portfolio development, the students have the experience of pre­senting their work at the Comox Valley Art Gallery as part of a summer First Nations program of shows.
