Juried Exhibition for High School Art + Design Students
The 2026 Virtual Juried Exhibition for High School Art + Design Students showcases artwork from talented high school students and gives them an opportunity to participate in a competitive, juried summer exhibition, and provide a platform for their work to be displayed in a college venue. Founded in 2021, the Virtual Juried Exhibition for High School Art + Design Students has expanded beyond Missouri now to a ten-state region, becoming an annual tradition focused on fostering creativity and visual exploration among the next generation of artists.
