2027 K-12 Theme: Plants & Bugs
This theme is meant to be interpreted as you wish, the possibilities are endless! All mediums and materials are welcome (yes, we love 3D work in the show!)
A few updates:
- Locations – Please sign up for a downtown location using the “Teacher Sign Up” tab at the top. Sign up needs to be completed by Monday, November 2nd, 2026 to ensure a downtown location for your school.
- Drop off for the “Plants & Bugs” themed artwork for the K-12 show at the Academy of Natural Therapy is Friday, February 26th, 2027. Yes, you can submit 3D work to this show! Please drop everything off between 3:30 and 5 pm. Be sure the artwork is matted and tagged. Labels for your matted artwork can be found below! Labels can be edited before printing. Labels fit the Avery template standard size 5160 if you would like to print them on sticky back labels. Artwork for the K-12 theme show needs to be 12×18″ in size (or smaller) but not larger! This would include the 1″ black mat around the artwork. Please only submit 10 artworks per teacher for this theme show. NEW this year, we are expecting every teacher to submit 10 student works to the theme show.
- Set up at your individual location will need to be completed by Thursday, March 4th, 2027. Contact your business to see how artwork needs to be hung (tape, tacks, etc) and a good time for you to install the artwork. Your downtown location is NOT responsible for hanging the student artwork.
- Opening night is Friday, March 5th, 2027 from 5-8pm. Please be at your location welcoming students and families! Artwork will remain on display for the entire month. You are to arrange with your business about takedown. We will have more communication later about picking up the “Plants & Bugs” themed artwork at the Academy of Natural Therapy once the show is over.
- Black paper/Ribbons: The black construction paper along with the requested number of ribbons will be distributed to all teachers through inter-office mail. If you are a charter school teacher, these items will be dropped in your front office. We do our best to get these materials to you in a timely manner.
- The website will be updated soon with a virtual map of the event, please share this with students and families. With the support of the Greeley Creative District (GCD) the QR code on the poster will direct families to the GCD website and there will be a link to the map on www.greeleyyouthart.com
Thank you for your continued participation in this wonderful event!
