67th Annual High School Exhibition

Since 1955, the Santa Cruz Art League’s High School Show has provided one of the only professional gallery exhibitions for high school-age artists in the county. Students from public, private, charter, home, and at-risk schools are invited to benefit from the Art League’s state-of-the-art space, giving the community a preview of the next generation of local artists. This exhibition aims to encourage young artists to new heights and support the growing creative community!
