Visual Arts

Download the Art Registration Label 

Any students attending a WELS or ELS elementary school in grades 5-8 are invited to submit artwork in 2-D (drawings, prints, paint­ing, collage, etc.) or 3-D (assemblage, modeling, or carving). Please do not submit crafts or kits.

Only one entry per person, not to exceed 36x36 in. Each art entry must have an Art Registration Label attached when it is dropped off at St. Croix Lutheran. Work can be brought on the day of the Festival as well.

Students who submit work for the exhibit are invited to attend a workshop on campus the day of the Festival for further development of their chosen subject or media of interest. The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with personal feedback on the work they submitted and to offer an opportunity for further development in their area of interest. Basic drawing supplies will be provided. Students who wish to work with paint or in 3D media should plan to bring their own supplies. The workshop will be open in the morning and afternoon, and participants will be free to come and go as it fits their schedule.
