Pima County Public Library Share View The 26th Annual High School Art Invitational Online

Press release from the Pima County Public Library :

February 28, 2021

Pima County Public Library is proud to present the 26th Annual High School Art Invitational. We invited over 100 High School art and photography teachers to submit images of student work which we are displaying online. We collected 93 images of student art representing the classrooms of 23 teachers from around Tucson and Pima County.

While the event is more about highlighting the creativity, talent and effort of local youth, a prize to the winning teacher’s set of classrooms will be awarded. A jury of artists, librarians and arts professionals looked at the art and the winning classrooms will get a delivery of fresh baked cookies for the students and $300 worth of art supplies for the teacher. Stay tuned for the prize announcement on March 15.

Here’s the link to the Flickr album with the full display.

Congratulations and thanks to all the students and teachers who participated. We hope to see you again for an in-person show next year. Here is a peek at a few of this year’s entries:
