2024 Youth Art Show

Symbiosis: Our Stories of Identity, Culture, and Community

PAUSD's K-12 visual art exhibition celebrates the diversity and interconnectedness of our community, inviting viewers to explore the rich tapestry of human experience through the eyes of over 500 young artists. Showcasing the beauty and complexity of symbiotic relationships, it celebrates the ways in which different elements come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts.

In concert with the Palo Alto Art Center's recent exhibitions, exploring the intersections of identity, community, and culture, "SYMBIOSIS" illuminates threads that unite us all. Our students offer glimpses into their personal reflections, revealing connections between self-discovery, creativity, belonging, and culture, culminating here in a celebration of shared experiences. We are very proud of the creativity of our student artists, the dedication of our art teachers, and thankful for the ongoing support we receive from Partners in Education (PiE) for our VAPA programs.
