Attendance at the late summer event is open to all, and will include a cocktail reception and hors d'oeuvres.

Cash prizes will be awarded for students grades 9 and up and for adults in the categories of Best in Show, and First, Second, and Third Prize. Non-cash prizes will be awarded for students up to grade 8. More information for artists is available by downloading the art submission form.
“We are thrilled to kick off our strategic plan initiatives with this Art Show,” noted Cindy Donaldson, NBYT Board Chair. “No Boundaries Youth Theatre has helped over 7,000 children since our founding in 2010, and we want to see that legacy grow. We strive to keep the fees to our students minimal and have been fortunate to receive various grants over the years, but it simply is not enough to support the staff, equipment, and everything that is needed to run the theater optimally. The Art Show allows us to share the love of all arts and support our mission.”
