You can see art made by famous artists like Vincent van Gogh, Frieda Kahlo, and Salvador Dali in museums and galleries all over the world – now you can see YOUR art on display during Larson Gallery’s pop-up Kids React! Art Show.

Awards, prizes and more! Open to kids (17 and under) living in Yakima County. Limited to the first 200 entries. For full participation details click here.

PARTICIPATING IS EASY!
First, choose a theme inspired by these famous artists:

#1: MY SPACE – Vincent van Gogh
#2: MY SELF – Frieda Kahlo
#3: MY IMAGINATION – Salvador Dali

Kids React! Theme #1: MY SPACE

Be inspired by the world around you.

Draw things you see in your home, a favorite room or place – like Vincent van Gogh’s starry nighttime sky, bedroom or vase of sunflowers.

The Starry Night, 1889
Bedroom in Arles, 1888
Sunflowers (Arles), January 1889

Kids React! Theme #2: MY SELF

Create a self-portrait.

Include your family, friends, or pets – like Frieda Kahlo’s self-portrait with her pet spider monkey, Fulang-Chang.

Self-Portrait with Spider Monkey, 1938

Kids React! Theme #3: MY IMAGINATION

Go Wild!

Throw out the rules and explore worlds and creatures only you can imagine – like Salvador Dali’s melting clocks or happy unicorn.
The Persistence of Memory, 1931
Happy Unicorn (Cheval Allegre) 1977

Then Create Your Masterpiece!
