The 2021 Grandparent Portrait Show Gallery
This Seventh Biennial Grandparent Portrait Show contains almost 190 portraits, in various media, of grandparents or beloved elders. The art work was created by art students from most of the local junior and senior public high schools during this year of online instruction. Public School Art Teachers were invited to select 20 portraits from all of their classes. All entries are displayed here on our online show.
The exhibit was juried by retired Art Teacher John Houchin who viewed images of all the entries and selected fourteen award-winning portraits and three honorable mentions. The fourteen award-winning portraits will be displayed in the State Street store window of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art during the entire month of June.
You can view the award winners’ artwork here.
Works are arranged alphabetically by the artists’ last names. Please mouse over the images to see the artist’s name and school. Click or tap any image to expand to slideshow view, a preferable way to view the gallery on a mobile device.
