High School Art Exhibition
The High School Art & Design Exhibition gives all Idaho high school students the opportunity to show their artwork in a professional gallery space on the University of Idaho Campus. This tradition has been taking place on the Moscow campus for 30 years and 2024 marks an update in the format. Starting this year all submitted work will be displayed digitally on campus. Jurors will then determine works that will be invited to show physically in the University of Idaho campus galleries. Jurors will select award winners who will receive gift bundles including art supplies and University of Idaho swag.
Submission Deadline: March 15th, 2024
Exhibition Dates: April 18th to May 12th, 2024
On campus invite notifications will be sent by March 25th. Artwork invited to show on campus will need to arrive by April 12th. The College of Art and Architecture will pay shipping expenses and details will be shared with the invitation announcement.
