Young artists aged 18 and under will be featured in a special art exhibit, February 3 - 28, 2026 at the beachKraft Gallery!

 

Student artists from across the DMV region will be featured in this special exhibition! The show includes a wide range of artwork, including vibrant paintings and detailed drawings by young local artists aged 18 and under. Each artist has highlighted their personal and unique vision and creativity through their artistic practice, and the gallery is thrilled to share the wealth of talent expressed in this exhibit.

 

The beachKraft Studio and Gallery of Olney offers annual exhibits of student artwork to any young artist working locally. Students can submit work that they have created in classes, workshops or at home or school. Entry is encouraged and open to any artist under 18 years of age in the DMV region. This allows younger artists to get the experience of entering their artwork to a gallery show and gives them a chance to share their achievement with the community at large.

​

A reception and celebration for the artists will be held Saturday, February 7, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

We want to share your creativity with our community! We also want to give students an idea of what it's like to submit and exhibit work to an art gallery. Any artist 18 and under can submit work. Students who have created artwork here at the beachKraft in classes or Art Camp are strongly encouraged to submit, however, the show is open to any student artist under 18 years of age.

Artwork can be 2-dimensional (paintings, drawings, etc.), or 3-dimentional (clay, paper mache, other sculpture).

  2. Fill out the information in the form below

  3. Take a photo of your art (have a parent help if needed). Pleaase show just the artwork in the photo - it's a good idea to hang it up somewhere so there won't be background clutter in your image.

(Make sure to have file names that match your titles so we know which art is which!)

We can provide a matt and mylar covering to present work, however, we encourage you to frame your own (see framing guidelines below),

Artwork Submission:

Will you be framing your work? Check below if yes. See framing guidelines below.

Framing Guidelines:

Make sure your frame has one of these hanging options:

D-ring and wire

Sawtooth hanger


Work does not have to be framed. If you do not frame, we will mat your work and cover with clear mylar for the show.


If you use a frame shop, it can be expensive. Michaels, Ikea and other craft shops carry economy frames in standard sizes and these are acceptable for this show. Just make sure they have hanging hardware attached as described above.

Promotions - Will you allow us to use photography and/or video of the artist and their artwork to promote the exhibit via socil media, local newspaper or other means?
Yes
No
