The Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock, California, will host its annual youth art exhibition, “Ready, Set, Show!”, from May 29 to June 27. The show invites students in grades K–12 to submit up to three pieces of artwork for display in the Ferrari Gallery, with free entry and a special section for the “Parks Are Fun!” banner contest. A free Family Friday reception will open the exhibition on May 29.
The exhibition matters because it provides a museum-quality platform for young artists in the region, encouraging creativity and community engagement. Support from the Express Yourself! Justin Ferrari Youth Arts Fund underscores the role of local philanthropy in sustaining arts education. The show also highlights the intersection of public art and youth expression through the banner contest, making visual art accessible to families and students.
