Have your artwork displayed on banners in Downtown Turlock! Each year the CAC sets a new theme and invites youth ages 4-18 to submit their work for consideration. Artwork must be created in a vertical format on legal size (14 x 8 ½”) paper in any 2-D art medium. Judges will select at least 20 winning designs that are digitized and printed onto vinyl banners that will hang on the light poles throughout Downtown.

We are seeking artwork on the theme Parks Are Fun! Our National Parks, our State Parks, and the parks in our own neighborhood are places for everyone to experience relaxation, play, and the beauty of nature. Let’s celebrate the fun that parks bring to our community! Your artwork can be realistic or abstract, and may be created in any drawing or painting medium.

Bring your design to us! Deliver your original artwork with a completed entry form to the CAC at 250 N. Broadway in Turlock. Entries deadline extended to January 31, 2026. Open hours: Tuesday- Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Artists in grades k-12 are invited to share their work in our Ferrari Gallery every year during the month of June. Submissions are accepted during the last week of May and are open to all students from throughout the region (Stanislaus, Merced, and San Joaquin counties).  Entry forms and details will be posted here in the Spring.
