2021 Youth Art Show
As we strive to fulfill or mission of growing the next generation through gritty educational and creative experiences, we are excited to announce that entries for the 2021 Youth Art Show will open Tuesday, December 22nd and close Friday, April 30th.
Public health and safety remain Rodeo Austin’s top priority. Due to unusual circumstances and uncertainty in the world caused by COVID-19, the Youth Art Show will look a little different this year. We will move forward with the contest in February and we will award premiums to the top exhibitors for their creativity and hard work. There will not be an in person reception and as always, the judging will take place privately. Additionally, art drop off will take place in a socially distant, limited contact manner.
New this year, the Art Show will be terminal, meaning the art will not be returned to the Exhibitor.
Exact premiums and drop off protocols will be announced soon.
