Local free workshop for Youth Climate Art Contest Feb. 28

Calling all K-12 students!  All local K–12 Siuslaw, Mapleton and homeschool students are encouraged to attend a special FREE Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Art Contest Workshop on Saturday February 28th from 10 am until noon at BeauxArts Fine Art Materials and Gallery at 2285 Highway 101 in Florence (Coastal Fitness Plaza).

This is a great way to showcase your sustainability spirit and join the effort to protect and preserve Oregon’s environment and natural wonder by sharing your experience with the changing world. BeauxArts will provide the materials and support to help young artists create and submit their artwork.

Students are encouraged to create something inspired by their climate impact experience on one of these themes:

• Protect What Sustains Us
• Climate Solutions Start Here
• From Pollution to Solution- the Earth We Want to See

The students can choose any visual medium to enter the art contest. Artwork can be realistic or abstract, horizontal or vertical, a painting, photograph or a sketch. All artwork must be original and created entirely by the student. See full application for submission details.

Deadline for the contest is April 22, 2026. There will be refreshments and snacks available.

Please contact BeauxArts for more information at beauxartsfam@gmail.com or 541-991-8213 and feel free to stop by the shop.
