For over 50 years, Kelso and Longview secondary art students have come together to showcase their works of art. Students’ paintings, drawings, pastels, sculptures, ceramics, and photography will be on display in the 2024 Celebration of the Arts, held at Cowlitz County Event Center next week.
With three high schools and five middle schools participating, the number of art pieces is substantial. There will be close to 200 pieces from Kelso High School, alone. The event is free and open to the public.

While the show is more an exhibit than a sale, if interested in possibly buying a work of art, patrons can express their interest by filling out a compliment card and including their email. Students may or may not be willing to sell their work.
