Big Bear Youth Art Show

The Breakthrough Task Force is giving local youth a chance to brush up on their creativity at the coalition’s fifth annual Big Bear Youth Art Show Friday, May 9, 4 to 6 p.m. at Community Church Big Bear’s Old Historic Chapel.

Sixth through twelfth-grade students are invited to submit art projects in all ranges of media including drawings, paintings, photography, sculptures, pottery and digital pieces for a chance to win prizes. Homeschool students are encouraged to submit entries in addition to those enrolled in Bear Valley Unified School District. Art will be judged by event attendees. Youth can submit up to five pieces of art, which must be received no later than Wednesday, May 7. Art is picked up from the front office at Big Bear Middle School and from Mr. Wilson at Big Bear High School the week prior to the event. Homeschool students should call to arrange pickup or drop off at the Big Bear Rim Family Services office.

There is no charge for the event. Food and refreshments will be served, and there will be several chances to win a variety of door prizes. Spectators are welcome to attend and cast their vote for their favorite works of art. Winners will receive awards and prizes, as well.
