Look at Me: Art Exhibition

Look at Me: High School Student Exhibition 2025

Look At Me: High School Art Competition Exhibition 2025

November 3 - 7
Randall Hall Gallery 231

Awards Ceremony: November 7 at 4pm immediately following College Art Day*.

Look at Me: Any self-portrait, image, or representation of oneself.

We are encouraging students from all Northwest Regional high schools to submit works about how we represent our identity. For example, some students may want to discuss identity through social, cultural, economic, and gendered perspectives; as each of these elements plays a part in how we identify within constructs of family, community, and greater society.

The aim of this exhibition is to feature the best self-portraits that depict the students’ individual identity, and honest self-reflections are specifically desired.

The Look at Me High School Art Exhibition is free to enter and open to juniors and seniors across the Northwest Region. Students are welcome to submit one self-portrait each. These self-portraits must be original, and can be any media.

Awards include tuition waiver scholarships for attendance at Central Washington University.

The awards ceremony will take place at the conclusion of College Art Day, November 7, at 4:00 PM.

*College Art Day is a seperate event that will take place on November 7 (all day). Additional registration is required if you'd like to participate in College Art Day. We encourage you to join us, it's a great event!
