Ellis County Youth Art Show 2025

For many years the Ellis County Art Association has put on the Ellis County Youth Art Show that includes public school, private school and homeschool students from all over Ellis County. We had entries from Ennis, Ferris, Midlothian, Palmer, Red Oak and Waxahachie from grades K-12.

The show was well attended by parents and community members alike with approximately 530 pieces of Art entered. We gave out scholarships of $5000, $3000, and $2000 to three high school seniors planning on pursuing a career in art. We also gave out $25 gift certificates to all first-place winners, $150 to Best of Show winners and Free Admission to our Summer Camp this year to Elementary and Jr. High Best of Show. To top it off, we also had a teacher drawing for $200 and raffled off two baskets of art supplies.

We plan on 2026 being an even bigger year with more scholarships, cash prizes and gift certificates to come!
