About Program

"I Am So Smart... I Can Do Art"
Art by Eli Hernandez, Shearer Elementary Kindergartener
Displayed at Napa City Hall

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.

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.
