Supporting Art in Education through Orange County’s Junior Art Exhibit

St Basils in Color by Nora DeVente, Grade 8

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the Festival of the Arts and Pageant of the Masters events in Southern California for the TreeHouse Arts site. What I didn’t mention then was the Junior Art Exhibit that is also a part of their summer show.

Since 1947, the Junior Art Exhibit has included select art from over 300 Orange County students between the ages of Kindergarten to grade 12. The exhibit is impressive not only in the budding artistic abilities it portrays, but also because it calls attention to one of my passions: the importance of continuing art education in our school systems.

Take a look over some of the below works from California’s upcoming artistic major-leaguers and tell me if you’re as impressed and excited as I am about all of the talent coming from our future generations.

Art for a Cause

 

Calling all artists! If you’re looking for opportunities to share your art with the world while also giving back, do your part to help end homelessness by submitting your work to the 2017 HomeAid Orange County Art Exhibition.

The 2017 HomeAid Orange County Art Exhibition is a two-day show featuring works created by the artists, creatives and makers who have day jobs in the real estate development industry. All proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to HomeAid Orange County, a non-profit organization with the mission to end homelessness.
