Summit Christian Academy > Academics > Elementary > Annual Art Festival Shines!

Every spring, the Summit Christian Academy Art Festival transforms our campus into a vibrant gallery of color, line, and imagination. Recognized as the biggest night of the year for visual arts students, the Festival showcases emerging talent across all grade levels—from pre-k doodles to advanced high school compositions. This year, professional works by Mr. Congdon were also displayed, inspiring our young artists.

Showcase of Student Art & Creativity

For weeks, students across every grade prepare paintings, sculptures, and digital art. This culminating event brings together families, friends, and the entire student body to appreciate each student’s hard work. All artwork is clearly labeled with artist names and grade levels, making it easy to navigate elementary art exhibits, middle school art, and high school art.

Community Judges & Juried Awards

Summit Christian Academy invites local professional artists to serve as jurors. Judges review and select award winners prior to the event, recognizing works for originality, technical skill, and emotional impact. Art Festival awards for elementary students will be presented during the May Awards Chapel.
