School Art & Classroom Visits

This spring, let us bring the school art to you!

The Education Center at the Kansas State Fair will be visiting different schools across Kansas to spread the word about our School Art Exhibits for 2026, highlighting the 250th anniversary of America. During our time in your classroom, we will talk about American history, play Kansas themed games, and the most importantly, create a piece of art that students can then enter into the 2026 School Art Competition. There is no cost for your classroom visit, just provide the supplies needed for the art project the students will be making. For more information or to check availability, email melissa.blake@ks.gov.

*Please note, availability for visits will be limited, however, we will also offer a virtual option, so more schools are able to participate.

Teacher-Entered Artwork

Registration Deadline: August 25, 2026

Classroom artwork will be judged and displayed in the Oz Gallery. Due to limited space, each student will be allowed one entry from their teacher(s).

Students wishing to enter additional individual artwork or crafts may do so in Fine Arts under Kreative Kids. Deadline for Fine Arts is August 1, 2026.

For questions about School Art and Fine Art entries contact Nancy Schmutz, Competitions Coordinator at 620.669.3621.
