In celebration of the landing of the Mars Perseverance Rover on the Red Planet, the California Art Club sponsored a Student Art Contest to encourage youth and teens, from pre-kindergarten to high school, to use traditional art techniques to create new artwork showcasing our neighboring planet. We are honored to present some of the most exemplary submissions from these up-and-coming artists on our website in conjunction with the virtual exhibition Mars: An Artistic Mission .
Congratulations to all the students spotlighted in this exhibition!
