STUDENT ART OPPORTUNITIES

We have many opportunities throughout the school year for students to showcase their artwork at the Museum!  

​

Our two annual events are the Student Art Exhibition in the Spring and our SpaceXplore rocket design competition on Astronomy day in April.

​

Other opportunities come up throughout the year, so please keep in touch to see what other exciting shows or contests are available.
