We provide assistance to districts and schools in delivering systematic, sustainable, high quality, standards-based Arts & STEAM education for all students.
Arts Integration and STEAM are approaches to education that integrate arts with other subject areas of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, English language arts, English language development, social studies, and/or physical education. Arts specific support is also provided in dance, media arts, music, theatre and visual arts.
Upcoming Arts Opportunities for Students
The 22nd Annual Constitution Day Student Arts Competition invites students in grades 3rd-12th to showcase their artistic talents and share their interpretations of the Constitution Day Conference theme: "America at 250: Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future". This is a visual arts competition.
- THEME: "America at 250: Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future"
- ENTRY SUBMISSION WINDOW: May 26, 2026 - August 31, 2026
- ELIGIBILITY: 3rd - 12th Grade Students Attending Schools in Southern California
Selected prize winners will receive awards and an opportunity to showcase their artwork at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and a FREE entrance to the library during the 22nd Annual Constitution Day event on September 19, 2026. This event is co-sponsored by Teach Democracy, The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, Constitutional Rights Foundation, Center for Civic Education, Los Angeles County Office of Education, Ventura County Office of Education, and the California Civic Learning Initiative.
This unique teen-designed, teen-led showcase celebrates the voices and creativity of Los Angeles high school students. Showcasing work that explores the impact of women in Los Angeles, submitted projects may focus on a specific person or take a broader approach to representing women in Los Angeles.
Submit visual art, performances, spoken word, or short presentations — in any medium that shares a student’s perspective and story! We are looking for submissions from students all across Los Angeles of any gender identity who feel connected to this theme. Work will be reviewed and curated by our paid summer high school interns in collaboration with Ebell staff.
Guiding Question: How have women—and those expanding what womanhood means—shaped the past, present, or future of Los Angeles?
