McKee Student Art Show celebrates its 95th year

The Haggin Museum in Stockton is hosting its 95th annual Robert T. McKee Student Art Exhibition, featuring approximately 1,700 works—paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculptures—submitted by K-12 students from across the county. The exhibition opens on January 29, with an artist reception on February 7, and runs through March 15. Works by younger students (kindergarten through 4th grade) are displayed in the West Gallery, while those by older students (5th through 12th grade) are shown upstairs in the Tuleberg Gallery.

This milestone 95th edition underscores the enduring role of community museums in nurturing young artistic talent and providing a public platform for student creativity. By showcasing such a large volume of work from local youth, the exhibition highlights the importance of arts education and community engagement, reinforcing the Haggin Museum’s commitment to fostering the next generation of artists.
