The 2022 Online Student Art Show

The Student Art Fund is very pleased to offer an opportunity to Art Teachers and students to participate in our biennial online exhibit of student work. We hope that students and teachers enjoy seeing their own and their peers’ work exhibited, and that the public sees the wonderful art education our youth are receiving in our local public schools.

The show includes 180 entries of artwork created by students from junior high and high school art classrooms in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria and Goleta. The submitted artwork was evaluated and sponsored by art teachers at each school. Each art teacher was permitted to sponsor up to ten pieces per category. Three equal Awards of Excellence have been awarded for each category of the Online Show. You can view the awards here.
