10x10 Teen Art Expo

The 10x10 Teen Art Expo is a week-long art exhibition featuring a selection of more than 100 teen artists from the greater Cincinnati region. The challenge? Create a piece of art measuring 10x10 inches that reflects the theme chosen by the 10x10 Teen Volunteer Team. Artworks selected by the team will be displayed in the Marek-Weaver Family Commons from April 14-19, 2026. Participants are invited to an opening party planned by the team on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

Submissions for the 2026 10x10 Teen Art Expo will open in mid-November 2025.
