Santa Cruz County is alive with creativity as more than 400 works of art by talented students adorn the halls of the Santa Cruz County Government Center. From vibrant paintings to intricate sculptures, the 2024 Youth Art Exhibit is a testament to the boundless imagination and skill of our local youth.
Hosted by the Santa Cruz County Office of Education (COE) and Arts Council Santa Cruz County, this annual event shines a spotlight on the artistic achievements of students across the region. It’s not just an exhibition; it’s a celebration of creativity, passion, and the power of artistic expression.
Each piece tells a story, conveying emotions, ideas, and experiences in ways that words often cannot. From elementary school students exploring colors and shapes to high school seniors delving into deeper themes and techniques, the exhibit offers something for everyone. It’s a testament to the importance of arts education in nurturing creativity and fostering personal growth.
The Government Center doors are open from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday for everyone to experience the exhibit.
Additionally, there will be a reception on May 3rd from 5 pm to 7 pm. This special event promises an evening filled with student performances, hands-on activities, and refreshments.
