Each year, Berrien RESA, The Box Factory for the Arts, and Krasl Art Center work together to present two amazing Community Student Art Exhibitions, one for elementary students and one for middle school and high school students.
Often referred to as the “Homecoming for the Creative Kids”, these long-running exhibitions are a place to celebrate our communities’ young creatives. Being inquisitive, a problem solver, collaborative, and a critical thinker are some of the benefits young people have when engaged in the arts. This exhibition is an opportunity to shine a light on these young artists.
A call to artists is sent to Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren Counties area schools (whether home, private, or public) for exhibitions that take place in March and April each year. Exhibitions are presented at the Box Factory for the Arts.
