What does America look like through the eyes of a child?
The Williamson County Performing Arts Center (WCPAC) and the Williamson County Parks and Recreation Department (WCPR) invite K–12 students to answer that question through art in its “Red, White & You” Youth Art Contest, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
Selected artwork will be displayed in the WCPAC lobby gallery from June 2026 through August 2026, showcasing the creativity of young artists from across the community.
“We wanted to give young artists a chance to show how they see America,” said Ally Ivey of the Williamson County Performing Arts Center. “This contest is about celebrating creativity, community, and the voices of the next generation.”
