Student Visual Arts Exhibition – is open to submissions from students throughout CA and encourages project-based learning. Through a call for submissions, the Autry invites students to respond to a prompt exploring a topic of relevance in the American West. Students create artworks in response to that prompt and submit them to the Autry, which selects approximately 100 works for the exhibition.
