Theme: Fabulous Forms!
Form in art refers to objects which have length, width, and height. It exists in both real and implied manners. Examples of real forms include sculpture, relief carving, pop outs on a picture, origami, ceramics, and mobiles. Implied forms can be found in drawings and paintings where the illusion of three dimensions is created with the use of light showing contrast of highlights and shadow areas or by using lines that show length, width, and height.
Art faculty from area high schools select works of art* from the current school year that represent the best artistic endeavors of their students to be included in this annual exhibition at the Glacier Art Museum. Three awards are given in conjunction with the show: the Curator’s Choice Award for 2-D Art, the Curator’s Choice Award for 3-D Art, and the People’s Choice Award.

Totally Terrific Textures! 2024
Fuzzy, bumpy, gritty, or smooth – texture is the way something feels when it is touched, or the way it looks like it would feel if it could be touched. Students create their own work of art that demonstrates the use of texture in a realistic or creative way for this exhibition.
Rhythm in Art: Children’s Art Exhibition 2023
As interpreted by kindergarten through eighth grade students, RHYTHM is the focus of this exhibition. Artworks on display show how regular, alternating, progressive, flowing, and random rhythm are used to create movement, pattern, and emotion.
Looking for Light: Children’s Art Exhibition 2022
Artists play with light, both as a subject and as a tool. It can be used to create dramatic or subdued effects. The source of light defines colors, creates shading, and is used to create perspective and space in pictures. Light can be used as symbolism within a work of art. Optical illusions can be produced using the contrast between light and dark. In addition to making things visible, light can be used to evoke emotions. This exhibit shows how light is used to create effects within art or as the subject of an artwork.
All Manner of Shapes: Children’s Art Exhibition 2021
In artworks, you can also create them by changes in color, space, or light. Some shapes are geometric and have names such as circle, square, or triangle. Organic shapes which are irregular and free-form often suggest things from the natural world, like plants and animals. This exhibition celebrates all the ways shapes are found in art.
So Many Patterns: Children’s Art Exhibition 2020
This exhibit focused on the theme of patterns as decoration, a composition technique, or as an entire artwork.
