School Arts Project.
All about inspiring young creatives, giving students the opportunity to collaborate on large-scale artworks and seeing their work exhibited at the 1770 Art Show. In 2025, students will explore the theme “Special Places”.
Past Projects
Each year, the School Arts Project presents a collection of vibrant, collaborative artworks at the 1770 Art Show. The 2024 theme, “Connection,” inspired schools to create meaningful pieces that reflected relationships, community, and shared experiences.
How It Started
Originally launched in 2014 as the Large Canvas School Project, the initiative began with just four schools and has since evolved into the School Arts Project. Over the years, it has grown to include multiple schools and has become a vital community feature, fostering creativity and artistic development in young students.
2025 Theme: Special Places
For 2025, students will explore the theme “Special Places,” reflecting on locations that hold significance in their lives. Whether inspired by nature, family, or cultural heritage, this theme encourages young artists to translate their personal connections into powerful visual storytelling.
