PTAReflections 2026-2027 Art Competition Information

Hello Providencia Families! Hello Providencia Families!

Explore the Arts and Express Yourself

Calling all young artists! The National PTA Reflections Art Competition is now underway.


This program is for students of all grades


For over 50 years, Reflections has recognized and celebrated young artists across the country by giving them a fun opportunity to unleash creative talents, express themselves and receive positive recognition for their original works of art.


Providencia Elementary has an incredible legacy of participation in this program - last year we had the MOST submissions of ANY BURBANK SCHOOL (not just elementary!) - and we had TWO STUDENTS make it all the way to Nationals!


Our theme for 2026 - 2027 is “What My Culture Means to Me”


Entries MUST include an ARTIST’S STATEMENT that relates to the theme.
