Art Shows
Art in Action Art Shows exhibit student artwork in public venues, including schools, libraries and local businesses. Displaying student art in public places builds student pride and brings pleasure to the entire community. Many thanks to the dedicated docents, teachers and school curators and librarians who make these art shows possible.
In this video proud students talk about their artwork and the Great Master that inspired them. A school art show is the perfect opportunity for your students to express themselves in pictures and words.
School Art Shows
Art in Action schools host spring or end-of-the-year, school-wide art shows showcasing samples of student artwork from every child, displaying their talents and accomplishments. The entire school community enjoys seeing the children's work on display, and students and parents take pride in their achievements. Younger siblings look forward to the projects they will get to do the next year, and older students look back with fond memories at art lessons they remember.
Online pictures and guides for the annual Art Show are included in the special support section of our website for Art in Action schools. These examples illustrate how to organize and host an annual all-school art show, how to prepare art, and how to transform a multipurpose room or gym into a living museum! In addition, the Art in Action staff provides live support, suggestions, and tips for displaying student art in the school and community.
