More than 160 works created by students from across Pinellas County are currently featured in the 2026 Clearwater Arts Alliance March is Youth Art Month K–8 Student Exhibition. The exhibition, held at the Clearwater Main Library at 100 N Osceola Ave, includes a total of 162 pieces and will be available for public viewing through March 27.
The theme for this year’s exhibition focused on “visual movement,” encouraging students to use line, color, and composition to convey motion and energy. An opening reception and awards ceremony took place on March 3, attended by students, families, teachers, school leaders, and community members.
Clearwater Mayor Bruce Rector and Clearwater Arts Alliance President Beth Daniels addressed attendees during the event. “Congratulations to students whose artwork is featured in the exhibit and the award winners,” they said.
Eighteen students were recognized with Merit and Excellence Awards for their work during the ceremony. A full list of award recipients is available as a PDF document.
