Seattle Public Schools has launched the 2026 Naramore Art Show, a long-standing annual tradition featuring over 200 artworks created by middle and high school students. Hosted at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) Community Gallery, the exhibition includes a diverse range of media such as ceramics, digital art, photography, and sculpture. The event features both a physical installation running through May 31 and a virtual gallery to ensure wider accessibility for the community.
This exhibition serves as a vital platform for emerging young artists to showcase their work in a professional museum setting, a practice the district has maintained since 1985. Named after the prolific school architect Floyd A. Naramore, the show highlights the importance of arts education within the public school system and strengthens the connection between local youth and major cultural institutions like SAM.
