The Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery in British Columbia is hosting "School Crossing," an exhibition featuring artwork from students of all ages across the Armstrong and Spallumcheen area. The show runs from April 30 to May 23, 2026, and includes works from Highland Park Elementary, Armstrong Elementary, Len Wood Middle School, Pleasant Valley Secondary, the North Okanagan Junior Academy, and local home-school families. A special reception for students, families, and teachers will be held on May 2.
This exhibition matters because it provides young artists with the experience of having their work displayed in a professional gallery setting, fostering creativity and pride in local youth. As an annual event, "School Crossing" has become a cherished community tradition that strengthens ties between schools and the local arts institution, making art accessible and celebratory for families and the public.
