The Reflections art program invites students to create original works of art that reflect this year's theme: "What My Culture Means to Me." Students have an opportunity to explore their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love of learning that will help them be more successful in school and in life.
Works of art inspired by this year's theme should be submitted online by October 15, 2026.
