The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY, has announced the return of the annual High School Juried Art Show for its 35th anniversary.
This spring exhibition serves as a platform for student artists across Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Hamilton, and Essex counties to showcase their talent and immerse themselves in a professional, competitive arts environment.
On view April 18 through May 17, 2026, the High School Juried Show is one of the nation’s longest-running events of its kind, spotlighting the works of dozens of outstanding regional artists. The Museum received over 440 artwork submissions for this year’s exhibition from 275 students representing 18 regional schools.
The show serves as an opportunity for area high school students to delve into the intricacies of the art world, gaining experience and knowledge along the way.
High school artists employ diverse styles and mediums, including drawing, painting, digital illustration, photography, mixed-media, jewelry, sculpture, and ceramics.
In a jurying process in which all submissions are reviewed, judges selected 136 pieces of artwork for the exhibition. The jurors this year include Ava Tesoriero, ceramicist and artist in residence at Saratoga Clay Arts, painter and sculptor Katie Langford, and Joy Muller-McCoola, fiber artist and retired Glens Falls art educator.
Students from the following New York school districts are included in this year’s showcase: Argyle Central School, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Central School, Cambridge Central School, Crown Point Central School, Fort Ann Central School, Glens Falls Central School, Hudson Falls High School, Johnsburg Central School, Lake George Jr and Sr High School, North Warren Central School, Queensbury High School, Salem Central School, Saratoga Springs High School, Schroon Lake Central School, Schuylerville High School, South Glens Falls High School, Ticonderoga Central School and Whitehall Senior High School.
The exhibition’s award recipients will be announced at the opening reception on Saturday, April 18 in The Helen Froehlich Auditorium at The Hyde Collection.
Awards will include Best of Show, Curator’s Awards, Juror’s Awards, and the Visitor’s Choice Award. Additionally, winners will receive scholarships for art classes at SUNY Adirondack.
