Reflections Art

Reflections Art Program

Reflections is a National PTA arts-in-education program started in 1969 and is the largest of its kind in the United States. Students have the opportunity to express themselves through original works created around a theme. Reflections is not “just an art contest”—it encourages kids to take risks, be inspired, think creatively, and be celebrated for their work. Studies show a positive relationship between the arts and well-being.

2026-2027 Theme: What My Culture Means to Me

Students in pre-K through grade 12 create original works of art in response to this theme.
