2026 NJAHS Juried Exhibition: Call for Artwork

Thank you to all of the students and their educators who submitted artwork to the 2026 National Junior Art Honor Society Juried Exhibition. We received 179 submissions this year. Congratulations to all of the artists whose work was selected by our panel of jurors, based on overall rubric scores. 

The National Art Education Association is pleased to announce the call for artwork for the tenth annual National Junior Art Honor Society (NJAHS) Juried Exhibition. Showcasing the artwork of talented student artists who are members of the NJAHS program, this competitive exhibit provides an opportunity for students to display their artwork through NAEA’s national and global exposure.
