Reflections Art Program

"Accepting Imperfection"

2024-25 Reflections
"Accepting Imperfection"

That’s the theme for the 2024-25 Reflections Art Program, which has been bringing the arts to life for more than 10 million students since 1969.  
 
Reflections encourages students of all ages to:
  • Unleash creative talents and be inspired
  • Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
  • Experience the fun and joy of making art
  • Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme
  • Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.
 
Diablo Vista Middle School students are invited to participate and submit original artwork in one of six areas:
 
Artworks are submitted first to school-level PTAs, where they are first recognized, celebrated and judged by five grade-level divisions, the Accessible Arts division celebrates student artists with special needs. School PTAs then choose a selection of entries to be judged by local PTA units, which are then sent on to councils and then districts for consideration. The final artworks submitted to California State PTA by districts are then considered for Outstanding Interpretation, Awards of Excellence or Awards of Merit. Outstanding Interpretation and Award of Excellence entries then go on to represent California in the final National PTA judging round.
 
The deadline for Diablo Vista Middle School submission is October 14th, 2024. Additional details will be provided in the upcoming newsletters on how to submit your entry for DVMS students. In the meantime, for questions, please reach out to: dvmsptsareflections@gmail.com
