Welcome to the 2026 Bayou City Art Festival Middle School Art Competition!
 

This year’s theme “Through My Eyes” invites students to share the world as they see it: their neighborhoods, their families, their challenges, their hopes, and the moments that shape their unique perspectives.
 

We cannot wait to celebrate their creativity at our Gallery Reception in February, where every submitted piece is honored. From there, the top 30 artworks will be showcased at the Bayou City Art Festival Downtown on March 28–29, giving students a rare opportunity to have their work seen by thousands of art lovers.

Registration is open until January 9th, and artwork submission will take place January 30–31st.
