Annual High School
​Art Invitational

Engaging the next generation of creatives ​in the Quad Cities

supporting High School artisTS as they continue their art education and compete for Over $7,000 dollars in awards and scholarships provided by exhibit sponsors

About The HIGH SCHOOL ART INVITATIONAL

Each spring, Quad City Arts displays artwork from top high school artists and their art teachers. High school art instructors in the greater Quad City region are invited to choose works by their top five students in any category, plus additional works in the categories of film, wood sculpture, paper sculpture and recycled materials. The exhibit fills the walls of Quad City Arts’ downtown Rock Island gallery, the opening ceremony is attended by hundreds of Quad Citians supporting young artistic talent, and students receive thousands of dollars in awards from exhibition sponsors.

The public is welcome to visit the gallery in person Monday-Friday from 10-5, Saturdays from 11-5. Everyone is welcome to vote for their favorite high school artist in the People's Choice contest on Quad City Arts' Facebook page.
 
For many students, this will be the first time they receive formal recognition for their creative talents. This can inspire them to pursue careers in the arts and find out how their talents can be applied. In addition to the opportunity to show their work publicly, this exhibition is important to show students the process of competing for gallery shows. As professional artists know, getting into exhibitions can be discouraging, but there is value in seeing which pieces were selected.
​
This exhibition is important for the public because it shows the incredible creativity of our young people and our future workforce. Creative people have the ability to problem-solve which is a trait sought after by numerous professions.

the 45th Annual High School Art Invitational

Thank you for being a part of the Annual High School Invitational,
​we are proud to have so many creative teachers and students in our community!​
