Since 2000, the Visions of Unity contest has encouraged Torrance youth to reflect on their role in resolving critical community issues, to artistically express their unique ideas and ideals in a way that broadens minds and touches hearts, and to take initiative in enhancing unity among diverse groups within their community. Here are this year’s first-place winners in visual arts. Congrats to all the participants. For more on the program, visit visionsofunity.com.
