Join us for the nation’s longest-running museum-sponsored student art exhibition, proudly showcasing the creative talents of young artists from kindergarten through 12th grade. This cherished tradition was founded by patron Robert T. McKee, who believed in inspiring students by offering them a public platform to share their artwork.
Each year, all schools in San Joaquin County—including public, private, charter, parochial, and home schools—are invited to participate. On average, the Haggin Museum receives over 1,000 pieces of student artwork, hand-selected by teachers as the best from their classes.
The Museum’s temporary galleries come alive with vibrant two- and three-dimensional works created using a variety of media, including crayon, colored pencil, pastel, watercolor, oil and acrylic paint, photography, and more.
Artwork Drop-Off Dates for San Joaquin County K–12 Teachers:
January 15 & 16 | 2:30 – 5:30 PM
January 17 | 1:30 – 4:30 PM
