National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
With positive recognition as the focus of this program rather than competition, students of all ages and abilities can experience the benefits of creative expression and help in finding their own voice in telling their unique story.
Students can be recognized for their art at the school, council, state, and national levels.
The 2024-2025 theme: Accepting Imperfection
The RAE school deadline to submit artwork is October 21-25, 2024!
Students are invited to submit creative work in the areas of:
