A New Opportunity for Student Artists
For the first time, high school art students across Southeastern Idaho are invited to participate in a regional visual arts conference designed specifically for artistic growth, skill development, and creative exploration.
While students in athletics, music, theater, and debate regularly attend competitions and clinics, comparable regional enrichment opportunities for visual arts students have been limited.
Students in grades 9–12 will participate in three hands-on workshops led by professional artists and experienced educators.
- Refine techniques and experiment with new media
- Receive thoughtful critique and encouragement
- Connect with peers who share their artistic interests
- Gain exposure to postsecondary art education and creative careers
