Support

We owe it to our children to sustain music, art, drama and dance experiences that has nearly been eliminated from our schools. Please give generously.

"Our partnership with ACNV enables us to bring trained arts teachers into our classrooms to nurture our students' creative thinking and expression. Arts Council has also strengthened our annual program, 'Napa County Reads'. This series of events, which takes place in schools and community forums, inspires us all to greater achievement in literacy through the visual and performing arts, and it brings families together to celebrate the artistic and educational achievements of our children."

About the Student Exhibition Program

Arts Council Napa Valley and the City of Napa created a rotating Children's art exhibit at Napa City Hall starting in 2008 honoring school children by displaying their art. The student exhibitions rotate every quarter. Any school in the City of Napa are invited to participate. All pieces of student art are professionally matted and framed, and are given to the student once the exhibition is over.

Student Exhibition Reception

Each exhibition has a kick-off opening reception hosted by the Mayor, Napa City Council and the Arts Council where the children are honored with certificates.

Open Call for Schools & Venues

The Arts Council has an open invitation for schools to participate in upcoming shows. The Council is also seeking additional venues to display student art. If your school would like to participate in this program, or you know of a venue to display children's art, please call the Council at 257-2117.
