ROCKFORD ART MUSEUM | EXHIBITION

Now in its 69th year, the Young Artist Show is a Rockford tradition that showcases the strength and diversity of art programs across the region through a juried High School Division and separate Youth Division. RAM remains dedicated to this exhibition and its value as an event that celebrates and supports art education, and allows us to recognize outstanding students and their exceptional artwork.

This year’s 69th Young Artist Show: High School Division was juried by Drea Howenstein, Associate Professor and Chair of the Art Education Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Andrew John Liccardo, Assistant Professor of Photography at the School of Art at Northern Illinois University.
