Rockford Art Museum's Young Artists Show exhibition includes two distinct exhibits that recognize and celebrate outstanding students and the dedicated teachers who contribute to the quality of artwork submitted.

The juried High School Division running March 5-April 2 includes approximately 300 artworks by over 200 high school students. Students entering the High School Division compete for more than $2,000 in scholarship and recognition awards.

The Youth Division runs April 16-May 14 and includes artwork in a variety of media by kindergarten through eighth-grade students from the Rockford area. Art teachers select the work to be included in the exhibition. About 500 students’ pieces are displayed in the Youth Division.
