Awards Ceremony for the 49th Annual High School Art Invitational Live

Graduation Ceremony Today

2 Apr, 2026

Awards Ceremony for the 49th Annual High School Art Invitational

The public is welcome to visit the gallery in person Monday-Friday from 10-5, Saturdays from 11-5 beginning March 27th. An awards ceremony will take place April 2nd from 6:30-8PM. Everyone is welcome to vote in person for their favorite high school artist in the People's Choice contest at our Rock Island gallery.

Each spring, Quad City Arts displays artwork from top high school artists and their art teachers. High school art instructors in the greater Quad City region are invited to choose works by their top five students in any category, plus additional works in the categories of film, paper sculpture, and recycled materials. The exhibit fills the walls of Quad City Arts’ downtown Rock Island gallery, the opening ceremony is attended by hundreds of Quad Citians supporting young artistic talent, and students receive thousands of dollars in awards from exhibition sponsors.
