Description
Please note: Registration is not yet open for this event. It will open in February 2026.
Calling all students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), in kindergarten and above!
You are invited to take part in the first statewide art showcase hosted by the Michigan Department of Education Resource for Deaf/Hard of Hearing (MDE RDHH) that celebrates creativity, imagination, and your unique artistic expression.
Choose an already established piece of art and recreate it in your own way. You can make an exact copy or add your personal flair, and you may use the same materials as the original or try something new. Painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, and more are all welcome.
Artists of all experience levels are encouraged to participate. Whether this will be your debut as an artist or you have been creating work for years, your work belongs here.
All artwork must be completed and submitted to MDE RDHH prior to the event. On the day of the event, student artwork will be showcased in a formal gallery style presentation. Participants are encouraged to dress up for the event to celebrate and enjoy the gallery experience.
An optional art class led by local artists/teachers will be offered, providing an opportunity to learn new techniques and gain creative insight.
Recreate. Reimagine. Make it yours!
Audience
This event is for students in Michigan who are DHH, in kindergarten and above, and their families.
