Thank you to everyone who has come out to support our incredible student artists! Your support helps celebrate the creativity, expression, and hard work happening in our schools every day.
If you haven’t had a chance to visit yet, there’s still time! Stop by the Carriage House Gallery at the Eccles Community Art Center to experience a powerful collection of student artwork that highlights experimentation, self-expression, and the impact of arts education.
This year also marks a special milestone as we welcomed 6th grade artists into the show for the first time! While their work is not judged, it gives them a chance to be part of the experience and see what’s ahead as they continue their artistic journey.

Eight students from Mrs. Lyon’s Drawing 2, Painting 2, and AP Visual Art classes had their work accepted into the prestigious Black & White Competition at the Eccles Community Art Center. This juried exhibit invites artists to explore form, texture, and value using only black, white, and grayscale.
Because this is a professional art show, not a student exhibition, our students are competing and exhibiting alongside established artists. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, creativity, and the recognition they’ve earned through this achievement! 👏🖤🤍
