Youth Programs
The Youth Program is COAL’s most important program!
It satisfies the League’s primary non-profit mission – promoting appreciation of fine arts
and art education in the community. This mission is accomplished with a combination of
Youth Art Scholarships and sponsored youth art shows.
Youth Art Scholarships - COAL awards art scholarships annually to selected
high school seniors as part of its mission to encourage young talented art students
Recipients are selected from the high schools in the Carlsbad-Oceanside area.
Each spring, students submit portfolios that represent their body of work for
judging by a committee appointed by the League’s Board of Directors. All
committee members are established artists and/ or art educators. Submittals are
judged on the basis of talent, creativity, and technical expertise. From these
submittals, recipients are chosen to receive these scholarships.
High School Art Show – Each April, COAL sponsors a high school
student art show held at a different venue and awards cash prizes at a
reception for the show. Prizewinners from the show are subsequently
exhibited at the COAL gallery during the June art show. Details about
the upcoming show are posted on the Welcome Page of this site about
60 days before the show.
Children's Art Show - Each May,COAL sponsors an art show for
elementary school aged children at the gallery. Entries are selected
from students attending local elementary schools. Ribbons and
modest cash prizes are awarded at a special show reception for
parents and children. Details about the upcoming show are posted on
the Welcome Page of this site about 60 days before the show.
