Join us for the Best of the Best High School Art Show on Friday, May 2, 2025 on the Southern Oregon University Campus in Ashland. This event is free and open to the public to attend the art show. 

As a regional art show, the Best of the Best Art Show provides high school students the opportunity to display their work in a professional setting, be recognized for their art, and gain practical exposure to visual arts as a potential career and college pathway. The physical exhibition of student art rotates locations annually, cycling between The Center for Visual Arts galleries at SOU, Rogue Gallery Art Center in Medford, and the Grants Pass Museum of Art.

High school students representing Armadillo, Ashland, Crater, Eagle Point. Grants Pass, Hidden Valley, Illinois Valley, Logos Charter, North Medford, North Valley, Phoenix, Rogue River, and South Medford High Schools spend a day on campus and participate in visual arts workshops at the SOU campus art studios, have the opportunity to attend guest artists talks that address their educational experience, career and work and enjoy a variety of activities. 

Recognition of Excellence prizes are awarded to the top pieces selected by a panel of judges. All the students receive a participation certificate and the opportunity to list this special recognition on resumes and applications.
