STUDENT ART SHOWCASE
Part of Art in Bloom
2025 Student Art Showcase
Presented by Amazon, the National Cherry Blossom Festival Student Art Showcase enhances creativity, collaboration, and community spirit among K-12 students from DC public, charter, and Japanese schools. The program connects eight local artists who will lead guided workshops at eight schools. These workshops will inspire and educate students on various art mediums, enabling them to express their unique interpretations of a selected theme provided by the Festival.
Through these collaborative workshops, students will work together to create mural-style artworks that reflect the spirit of friendship, community, and the blossoming beauty of spring. The murals will be unveiled during peak bloom at the Tidal Basin and returned to each school for a special hanging/unveiling ceremony.
