A first-time exhibition for students 9-12th grade. This special showcase highlights high school students' creativity and allows them to display their work in a professional gallery setting.
The Next Picture Show in Dixon, IL, is proud to present its first-ever Student Art Show, a month-long exhibition from March 26 through April 26 during regular business hours. The Gallery is open Wednesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The exhibition features a diverse collection of artwork, including 2-D, 3-D, digital, and video pieces, created by young artists in grades 9–12. In addition to exhibiting their talent, participating students will have the opportunity to sell their artwork, gaining real-world experience in the art industry.
