Solano Student Art Exhibit

collage of vibrant student art

Some of the best local artists, grades 4 - 12, will exhibit art in the Solano County Student Art Faire to be held on Saturday, May 20, 2023, at the McCormack Hall, Solano County Fairgrounds. The show, sponsored by SCOE, will feature up to 500 pieces of artwork, from students throughout Solano County, in the following categories: computer art, clay pottery, clay sculpture, drawing, fiber, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, and general sculpture.

All participants receive a certificate of participation, and students receiving 1st, 2nd, 3rd place, or Honorable Mention are awarded ribbons. Each division awards one Best of Show winner. Best of Show winners receive a ribbon and a perpetual trophy to be displayed at their respective schools.
