Stockton, California

For 79 years the museum has honored the vision of founding individual Robert T. McKee by hosting this exhibition which features work of student artists in kindergarten through grade 12.
Every year the invitation is sent to all public, private and charter schools as well as homeschool groups in San Joaquin County. And every year, we receive on average 1,000 pieces of art chosen by teachers as the best of their class.

Works are created in crayon, colored pencil, pastel, watercolor, oil and acrylic paint; in addition to photographs and mixed-media pieces. The resulting exhibition is a snapshot of arts education in our area and underscores the importance of creative activity in the classroom. Art is not only about self-expression, but also about problem solving, persistence, fluency and complex interrelationships. It expands individual students and connects them to the world.

The Haggin Museum is proud of this longstanding collaboration with the schools of San Joaquin County. We are honored again this year to celebrate the effort of its teachers and expression of its young artists.

Museum Hours: 1:30-5:00 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday and 1:30-9:00 p.m. 1st & 3rd Thursdays
