Art Fair
It’s time again for the Art Show at the Pima
County Fair! Student artists from schools all over the county show their
artworks to the entire regional community. We participate every year with
hundreds of entries from Kinder to 8th Grade, and every student wins
a ribbon!
All Kinder and 1st grade students
will have art entered in the Fair, but we become more selective beginning in 2nd
grade when students enter the art room.
Every year we explain how we choose the Art
to the students from 2nd grade up. We don’t focus on talent; rather
we emphasize following the guidelines of each project and making a great
effort. For example, a very talented student may waste time socializing and
hand in a late project. That artwork would not qualify. Also, only finished and
clean artworks are chosen. Finally, students must label their art with their
name and age.
This year the fair opens April 16th and closes April 26th. Many, many
thanks to the students, teachers and parents who help Mrs. Paradis and Mrs. Phelps
make our Pima County Fair Art Show so spectacular! Don’t forget to visit our

We look forward to seeing you at the fair!
