"The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.

​Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life."
