My studio is at the disposal of your young artist as they create their Refections masterpiece. Of course I won’t be touching what they make to maintain true artist authenticity. Although, I can offer assistance with materials, how to come up with their big idea and give all the encouragement an artist can give a young artist. Each attendee will leave with one finished art piece and guidance on the next steps needed for submitting their work to their schools PTA. If they need more time to finish they will be sent home with the necessary materials they need to finish.

Official Refections Items of Note:

Students may enter in one or more of the available arts categories (see program details for more information). Finalists from local PTAs will move on to their council PTA (if applicable), then finalists from councils will advance to the state round. Washington State PTA finalists who receive an “Outstanding Interpretation award will advance to the National PTA round.

The deadline for local PTA and council entries to WSPTA for the 2026-2027 contest isJanuary 14, 2027.
