“We encourage students to submit a piece of work that best represents them,” the Annex states on its submissions page. “We have a very large space to fill with visual art, as well as space to host live performances in music and poetry/spoken word. We want people to see, hear and experience what you are creating!”

Photography, video and digital artworks are being accepted, in addition to more traditional formats like painting and sculpture. Members of the gallery will also be on hand to assist students with matting, framing and other art prep. Artists are asked to submit one piece of art only.

The Drawing Room Annex’s previous High School Art Show took place in 2022, and exhibited the work of over 350 students from over 20 San Francisco schools.
