The High School Area Show offers a unique opportunity for high school artists from Kalamazoo and surrounding counties to participate in a juried exhibition and display their work in a museum setting. This program also provides students the chance to win scholarships and prizes. The KIA is proud to support emerging artistic talent and committed to increasing young people’s access to arts and art education.

The show is open to high school students residing in Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph, and Van Buren counties. Students can submit up to two works online through CaFÉ (callforentry.org). Submissions are being accepted now through February 9. If you have any questions about submitting your work, please email .
