The Arts Council Santa Cruz County and the Santa Cruz County Office of Education teamed up again to organize the annual Youth Art Exhibit at the Santa Cruz County Government Center! The artwork is currently on display now through May 5, 2025! This year, we have 500 pieces of student art from across the county – brightening the gray walls of the County building. The First Friday reception will be on May 2nd from 5-7 PM at the County Government center on Ocean Street in Santa Cruz. Come view the amazing artwork and see proud kids pointing out their work to their loved ones. It’s a powerful experience for everyone involved, and promotes the value of art education.
