The Superintendent's High School Art Show is an annual event. High school students from all nine of the state's educational service districts (ESDs) participate in this artistic celebration each year. The finalists from these regional ESD shows are invited to participate in the Superintendent's High School Art Show.

Celebrating 53 Years of Student Creativity

Each year since 1973, high school students from across the state have participated in regional art shows sponsored by the nine Educational Service Districts (ESDs). Finalists from the ESD Art Shows are invited to submit their work to the Superintendent's High School Art Show. Student art is reviewed at the state level with 20-26 pieces selected for statewide recognition, depending on that year's partner participation.
