High School Area Show 2023

Join us once again as we celebrate art made by the high school artists of our community! Enjoyed by visitors of all ages, this show has been a KIA tradition for over 40 years. We look forward to seeing our galleries filled with art from creative talent.

The High School Area Show welcomes submissions from all high school students residing in Allegan, Berrien, Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties.

Participation makes artists eligible to win scholarships for summer programs and college scholarships. The 2022 High School Area Show awarded exactly $700,000 in student support.
