10th Annual Student Art Show

Join us in celebrating the immense creative talent of our local young artists during Astoria Visual Arts' 10th annual Student Art Show, opening on May 11 and closing on May 26. This showcase includes artwork from Astoria, Knappa, Seaside and Warrenton High Schools, alongside Astoria Choice Academy (K-12) and homeschool students.

Each student was given a 12"x12" panel, courtesy of City Lumber, to create their artwork. Over 150 panels were distributed. A short award ceremony will take place at 4:00pm on May 11. 

This annual show fosters an appreciation for the arts and highlights our vibrant youth. It's a great opportunity for students and teachers to meet their peers and see what each other are thinking about and working on. This exhibit is supported by AVA’s Miss Bea Johnson Fund, founded in 2011, that advocates for the importance of art education for student’s personal and academic development, and provides learning opportunities for students to build knowledge and develop skills in the visual arts. 

The Student Art Show is made possible by AVA members along with the Oregon Community Foundation, Fred W. Fields Fund, Oregon Arts Commission, and supporters of AVA’s Miss Bea Johnson Fund including program founders, Noel and Patricia Thomas.
