DaVinci Fest 2027
Art Showcase
A place to share what students have created.
Open to students in PreK–12. No judging. No competition.
The DaVinci Fest Art Showcase gives students an opportunity to see their artwork displayed and shared with the community.
Students can participate on their own, or teachers can submit artwork created through classroom projects.
Individual artwork, collections of student work, and collaborative class projects are all welcome.
No pre-registration required.
How to Participate
Exhibition Guidelines
Artwork should be appropriate for a youth-centered, family-friendly public exhibition. Students are encouraged to explore ideas, perspectives, and themes creatively; however, submissions may not include explicit sexual content, graphic violence, hate speech, or other content that is reasonably inappropriate for a public school setting.
For Students
Students and families are welcome to submit artwork independently. Whether you’re creating something in class, at home, or on your own, your work is welcome at DaVinci Fest.
A student might submit:
A drawing, painting, or illustration
A sculpture or 3D creation
A mixed-media or collage piece
Any other original artwork
You don't need to be an expert artist or create something specifically for DaVinci Fest. If you're proud of something you've made and want to share it, we'd love to display it!

Find your drop-off box: Boxes will be located in your school’s front office (PreK/Elementary) or art classroom (Middle/High).
Label your artwork: Fill out one artist label for each piece and paper clip it to your artwork. Labels and clips will be available at the collection box.
Invite your family: Take an event flyer home so your family knows when and where to come see your artwork. Flyers are available at the collection box.
Drop off by Tuesday, January 12: We'll collect the artwork from schools, set it up for display at DaVinci Fest, and return the collection boxes to schools after the event.
For Teachers
Teachers and staff can incorporate DaVinci Fest into work already happening in the classroom.
A teacher might submit:
Individual artwork created by a student
A classroom collection
A collaborative project created by the whole class
Artwork connected to an existing lesson or unit
You don't need to create something new just for DaVinci Fest. If students are already creating something worth sharing, we'd love to help put it on display!

For Non-District Students
We believe every young person deserves opportunities to explore their creativity, share their ideas, and celebrate their learning.
Students who live within the boundaries of Stillwater Area Public School District but attend a non-ISD 834 school or are homeschooled are welcome to participate in the DaVinci Fest Art Showcase.
Share your creativity and original artwork with the community and enjoy being part of this celebration of student art!
