School Crossing: Celebrating Student Art Across Our Community
Each May, the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum & Art Gallery proudly hosts School Crossing, a student art exhibition that brings together young artists from across our community.
This year’s show will feature artwork by students from Highland Park Elementary, Armstrong Elementary School, Len Wood Middle School, Pleasant Valley Secondary School, the North Okanagan Junior Academy, and homeschoolers from the Armstrong and Spallumcheen area. Students of all ages are invited to participate, and the resulting exhibition is always vibrant, joyful, and inspiring.
Artwork will be displayed in both galleries, giving students the exciting experience of seeing their work presented in a semi-professional exhibition setting. For many young artists, this is their first time sharing their creativity in a public gallery — an experience that builds confidence, pride, and a lasting connection to the arts.
Artwork drop-off: Tuesday, April 28 (ideally through teachers)
Exhibition dates: Apr 30 – May 23
Student & Family Reception: Saturday, May 2 | 1:00–3:00 PM
School Crossing is also a favourite time of year for school tours, with many classes visiting the Museum and Galleries throughout May. Seeing their own work — and the work of their peers — on the walls makes these visits especially meaningful.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by our dedicated volunteers, whose support allows us to expand our outreach to youth in our community.
