Promising Picassos Art Exhibition
The Promising Picassos Student Art Exhibit is all digital with a Virtual Art Gallery to coincide with National Youth Arts Month every March.
New for 2025! We will have TWO divisions starting in 2025. Our Senior Division will be 8th -12th grade and our Junior Division will be 3rd -7th grade.
New for 2025! We need to limit 10 pieces maximum from each high school, 5 from each middle school, and 5 from each elementary school. If you are a K-12 school, please use the same guidelines.
All artwork will be juried for acceptance into the exhibit. The top four pieces from each division will receive monetary prizes as well as the opportunity to be displayed in our community. The exciting part of being an online gallery is that your students are not confined to size constraints.
Please email us at iscaonlineinfo@gmail.com a high quality jpeg, pdf, or png of current work with the following information on each piece. We cannot accept pieces without ALL of the following information.
1. The name of the work
2. The medium used for the piece
3. The name of the school
4. The art teacher's name & school email address
5. The student's first and last name & school email address
6. The student's grade level
All participating art teachers must notify ISCA of their involvement in ISCA Promising Picassos exhibit via email by Friday, January 9, 2025.
The Submission Deadline is Friday, January 31. Teachers and winners will be notified no later than Friday, February 28.
The “Gallery” will be viewable here for the month of March and featured on our Instagram and Facebook pages.
