About the Festival

The White Pine Children's Art Festival began in 2010 as a way to give children in White Pine County the opportunity to explore a variety of arts-related activities. The festival ran successfully from 2010 to 2019, paused during the COVID-19 years, and has since returned as a valued tradition in our community. This is now our fourth year partnering with the White Pine County School District to bring the festival to our students and families.

Each year, the festival continues to grow and evolve. Last year, students explored art inspired by Asian cultures, participating in activities such as fan dancing, watercolor haiku poetry, and collaborative installations. The week culminated in a beautiful transformation of White Pine High School’s commons area into an immersive display featuring a koi pond, cherry blossoms, and pagodas.

This year, we are excited to take inspiration from Disney’s Elemental, as students explore the themes of earth, water, fire, and air through a variety of creative experiences.

But don’t worry—this won’t feel like regular school! Our goal is to introduce students to a variety of art forms in fun and engaging ways. Each student will choose three classes to attend daily from July 20-24. On Friday, we’ll hold a final class session and a special exhibition to celebrate everything the students have created and learned.

We hope you'll join us for this exciting week of creativity and expression!
