Student Artwork
Since 2016, the Autry has presented exhibitions of student artwork around a compelling theme. Each year we develop a theme and send out a call for submissions at the beginning of the school year. Selections for the Student Visual Arts Exhibition are made in the Spring and juried student artwork is installed in our museum galleries followed by an opening reception and awards ceremony. Grades 6-12.
For peoples living across the American West, the future has long been an inspiration for dreams, fears, hopes, and actions. Millions of people have headed to the American West in the hopes of securing a better future. Others have viewed the future as an opportunity to reach new horizons, and still others fear what the future might bring. As the present turned into the past, it is those actions, those dreams, those hopes and fears that fill today’s history books and shed light on how those who came before us viewed the future. What do you think the future holds for you? For Los Angeles? For California? For the American West? What do you think the world will look like, sound like, feel like in ten years, fifty years, one hundred years, or even a thousand years?
We call on the students of the American West to share with us their visions of the future, and we look forward to sharing your visions of the future at the Autry Museum.

The Autry Museum of the American West acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). We recognize that the Autry Museum and its campuses are located on the traditional lands of Gabrielino/Tongva peoples and we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
