More About Reflections

Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students pre-K through grade 12:

  • explore their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas
  • develop artistic literacy (by describing how their art relates to a theme)
  • increase confidence
  • find a love for learning that will help them become more successful not only in school but in life.

Students create original works of art in response to a theme. The 2026-2027 Reflections theme is “What My Culture Means To Me.” Themes are selected from student submissions. 

Students may enter in one or more of the available arts categories. Finalists from local PTAs move on to their council PTA, then finalists from councils will advance to the state round. Washington State PTA finalists who receive an “Outstanding Interpretation award will advance to the National PTA round.
